yulghi al-maw'id

cancel the appointment

意味

To call off a scheduled meeting.

🌍

文化的背景

In the Levant, people often use 'اعتذر' (I apologize) as a synonym for 'I'm canceling.' It's considered more polite than the direct 'I'm canceling.' In business culture in the Gulf, canceling via WhatsApp is increasingly common and accepted, provided it's done with a polite voice note or message. Egyptians might use the phrase 'الموعد اتلغى' (The appointment got canceled) using the 'it-' prefix for the passive, which is very common in Cairene dialect. In the Maghreb, you might hear the French word 'Annuler' mixed with Arabic grammar, but 'يلغي' remains the formal standard in media.

💡

Be Polite

Always add 'آسف' (Sorry) or 'للأسف' (Unfortunately) before saying you are canceling.

⚠️

Don't just say 'Algha'

In Arabic, just saying 'I cancel' sounds like a command. Use 'أريد أن ألغي' (I want to cancel).
