Een afspraak verzetten.

Reschedule an appointment.

معنی

Changing a time.

🌍

زمینه فرهنگی

The Dutch 'Agenda' is sacred. Rescheduling is common but must be done politely and as early as possible. 'Afspraak is afspraak' is the underlying rule. In Flanders, the culture is slightly more flexible than in the Netherlands, but 'verzetten' remains the standard term. Politeness markers like 'zou' are very common. In Surinamese Dutch, the concept of time can be more fluid, but in formal business settings, 'verzetten' is used exactly as in the Netherlands. Efficiency is key. When you 'verzet' an appointment, you are expected to immediately offer 2-3 alternative time slots to minimize email back-and-forth.

🎯

Always suggest a new time

When you ask to 'verzetten', immediately offer a new day or time. It's the Dutch way to be efficient.

⚠️

Don't use 'veranderen'

Even though 'change' works in English, 'veranderen' sounds very strange to Dutch ears in this context.
