yu'ajjil al-ijtima'

postpone the meeting

意味

To reschedule a meeting for a later time.

🌍

文化的背景

In the Gulf, business meetings are often rescheduled last minute due to shifting priorities of high-ranking officials. It is not seen as rude, but as a sign of a busy, dynamic environment. In Lebanon and Syria, social time is flexible. 'أجّل' might be used for a wedding or a big dinner party, often with a very apologetic tone. The word 'Ma'lesh' (it's okay/don't worry) often accompanies the news of a postponed meeting. It's used to soften the blow of the delay. In North Africa, French influence means you might hear 'نريپورتي' (from reporter) in casual speech, but 'يؤجل' remains the standard for written Arabic.

💡

Use the Passive

If you don't want to blame someone, say 'تم تأجيل الاجتماع' (The meeting was postponed).

⚠️

Don't forget 'إلى'

Always use 'إلى' (to) when specifying the new time.

Even if it's not your fault, start with 'نعتذر' (We apologize) before saying you are postponing.
