مواعيد
مواعيد 30秒で
- Mawa'eed is the plural of Maw'id, meaning appointments or scheduled times.
- It comes from the root 'to promise', implying a commitment to show up.
- Commonly used in medical, professional, and social contexts across the Arab world.
- Requires feminine singular adjectives and is often used with verbs like 'book' or 'cancel'.
The word مواعيد (Mawa'eed) is the plural form of the noun موعد (Maw'id). At its core, it refers to a set of scheduled times, appointments, or commitments made between parties. In Arabic, the root و-ع-د (W-'-D) fundamentally pertains to the concept of a 'promise.' Therefore, a موعد is essentially a 'promised time' or a 'promised place.' When we use the plural مواعيد, we are often talking about a schedule, a calendar of events, or a series of professional or personal engagements that one must adhere to. This word is central to navigating daily life in the Arab world, covering everything from a doctor's visit to a casual coffee with a friend.
- Linguistic Root
- Derived from 'Wa'ada' (to promise), implying a moral obligation to show up.
لدي الكثير من مواعيد العمل هذا الأسبوع.
(I have many work appointments this week.)
- Semantic Range
- Includes deadlines, meeting times, schedules, and dates.
يجب احترام مواعيد الدواء.
(Medicine timings must be respected.)
- Plurality
- It is a 'broken plural' (Jam' Taksir), which is common for nouns of this pattern (Maf'al -> Mafa'eel).
تغيرت مواعيد القطارات اليوم.
(The train schedules changed today.)
هل يمكنك تنظيم مواعيدك؟
(Can you organize your appointments?)
نحن نلتزم بـ مواعيد التسليم.
(We adhere to delivery deadlines.)
Using مواعيد effectively requires understanding its grammatical behavior and common pairings. As a plural noun, it often takes feminine singular adjectives (e.g., مواعيد محددة - specific appointments). It is frequently used in the context of scheduling, time management, and logistics. You will often see it preceded by verbs like حجز (to book), ألغى (to cancel), or أجّل (to postpone). In a professional setting, mastering the phrases associated with 'Mawa'eed' is crucial for demonstrating reliability and organization.
- Verb Pairings
- Common verbs: 'Dabata' (to regulate), 'Nazzama' (to organize), 'Akhlafa' (to break/fail to keep).
قام السكرتير بتنظيم مواعيد المدير.
(The secretary organized the manager's appointments.)
- Possessive Forms
- Mawa'eedi (my appointments), Mawa'eeduka (your appointments), Mawa'eeduhum (their appointments).
هل مواعيدك مرنة؟
(Are your schedules flexible?)
اعتذر عن عدم الحضور بسبب تضارب المواعيد.
(I apologize for not attending due to a scheduling conflict.)
The word مواعيد is ubiquitous in various sectors of Arab society. In a medical context, you will hear it at reception desks when booking or confirming visits. In the corporate world, it appears in emails regarding meeting times and project deadlines. Public transport hubs use it to refer to departure and arrival times. Even in social settings, it is used to discuss when friends should gather. Interestingly, the phrase 'Mawa'eed 'Urqub' (Urqub's appointments) is a famous idiom used to describe someone who never keeps their promises, based on a legendary figure known for breaking his word.
- Professional Settings
- Offices, clinics, and government buildings use it for formal scheduling.
تأكد من مواعيد العيادة قبل الذهاب.
(Check the clinic hours before going.)
هذه مواعيد نهائية لا يمكن تجاوزها.
(These are final deadlines that cannot be exceeded.)
Learners often confuse مواعيد with other time-related words. A frequent error is using أوقات (times) when مواعيد (appointments) is more appropriate. While 'Awqat' is general, 'Mawa'eed' implies a specific arrangement or commitment. Another mistake is using the singular موعد when referring to a general schedule or multiple bookings. Additionally, learners sometimes struggle with the preposition; usually, we say في الموعد (on time) or لديه مواعيد (he has appointments).
- Confusing with 'Awqat'
- 'Awqat' is for general time (e.g., times of the day), 'Mawa'eed' is for agreed-upon times.
خطأ: أحب مواعيد الصباح. (Incorrect for 'I like morning times')
صح: أحب أوقات الصباح.
To truly master مواعيد, one must distinguish it from its synonyms. While they all relate to time or meetings, their nuances differ significantly. لقاءات (Liqa'at) refers to the meetings themselves, whereas مواعيد refers to the timing of those meetings. جدول (Jadwal) refers to the physical or digital schedule/table, while مواعيد are the entries within that schedule.
- Mawa'eed vs. Liqa'at
- Mawa'eed = The 'when'. Liqa'at = The 'act of meeting'.
- Mawa'eed vs. Jadwal
- Mawa'eed = Appointments. Jadwal = Schedule/Timetable.
لدينا مواعيد كثيرة في جدولنا اليوم.
(We have many appointments in our schedule today.)

ヒント
Plural Agreement
Always remember that 'Mawa'eed' is a non-human plural. This means any adjective you use to describe it must be feminine singular. For example, 'Mawa'eed kathira' (many appointments) not 'kathirun'. This is a common mistake for beginners.
The 'Insha'Allah' Factor
When someone says 'See you at 5, Insha'Allah,' they are using 'Mawa'eed' in a cultural context. It doesn't necessarily mean they will be late, but it acknowledges that things can change. Don't take it as a sign of unreliability immediately.
Root Connection
Connect 'Mawa'eed' to the word 'Wa'd' (promise). If you think of an appointment as a promise you made to someone, it will be easier to remember the word and its importance in Arabic-speaking cultures.
Natural Phrasing
Instead of saying 'I have times,' always use 'Indi mawa'eed' when talking about your schedule. It sounds much more native and professional. 'Awqat' sounds too vague for a person with a plan.
Business Emails
In business emails, use 'ضبط المواعيد' (scheduling/regulating appointments) to sound professional. It shows you are organized and value the other person's time. It's a high-level collocation that impresses.
Context Clues
If you hear 'Mawa'eed' in a hospital, it's about doctors. In a station, it's about trains. The word is a chameleon that takes its specific meaning from the environment it's used in. Always look at the surroundings.
The 'M' Rule
Most Arabic words for 'place' or 'time' of an action start with 'Ma-'. 'Maw'id' is the time of 'Wa'd' (promising). This pattern (Maf'al) is very common and will help you learn hundreds of other words.
Flexibility
Use 'Mawa'eed marina' to describe a flexible schedule. This is a very common term in modern job descriptions and social arrangements. It's a great way to use the word in a modern context.
Punctuality Phrases
Learn the phrase 'Daqat al-mawa'eed'. It means 'precision in appointments.' Using this shows you are a serious professional. It is highly valued in corporate environments in the Middle East.
Confirming
Always confirm 'Mawa'eed' a day before. Use 'Habait akid al-maw'id' (I wanted to confirm the appointment). This is a polite social norm that prevents misunderstandings and shows respect.

よくある質問
10 問The word itself is masculine, but as a non-human plural, it is treated as feminine singular for grammatical agreement with adjectives and verbs. This is a standard rule in Arabic grammar for 'Jam' Taksir' of non-human objects. For example, you say 'Mawa'eed jamila' (beautiful appointments) using the feminine singular adjective. Understanding this helps in constructing correct sentences.
'Awqat' is the plural of 'Waqt' and refers to time in a general sense, like 'times of day' or 'free time.' 'Mawa'eed' specifically refers to scheduled times or appointments that involve a commitment. You wouldn't say 'Mawa'eed al-fagh' for free time; you would use 'Awqat.' Use 'Mawa'eed' when there is a plan or a person involved.
Yes, 'Mawa'eed' is the perfect word for transportation schedules, such as trains, buses, or flights. It implies the fixed, promised times that the transport is supposed to arrive or depart. You will often see signs in stations saying 'Mawa'eed al-qitarat' (Train schedules). It is more specific than just saying 'times.'
You can say 'عندي تضارب في المواعيد' (Indi tadarub fi al-mawa'eed). The word 'tadarub' means conflict or clashing. This is a very common professional phrase used when two appointments happen at the same time. It is polite and clear in a business context.
While 'Maw'id' can be used for a date, 'Mawa'eed' is less common in a romantic sense unless you are talking about a series of dates. Usually, 'Maw'id' is used for a single romantic meeting. However, in modern slang, people might use it, but it remains primarily professional or general social.
This is a famous Arabic idiom. 'Urqub' was a man who promised his brother fruit from a tree but kept making excuses until the fruit was gone. Now, if someone says you have 'Mawa'eed 'Urqub,' they are saying you are a liar who never keeps your appointments or promises. It's a strong but colorful way to describe unreliability.
You use the verb 'Hajaza' (to book). So, 'أريد حجز موعد' (I want to book an appointment) or 'أريد حجز مواعيد' (I want to book appointments). This is standard for doctors, hair salons, and business meetings. It's a very useful phrase for any learner.
For English speakers, the 'Ain' (ع) can be tricky. It is a deep throat sound. In 'Mawa'eed,' it comes after the 'wa'. Practice by making a slight constriction in your throat. It's essential for being understood, as 'Mawa'eed' without the 'Ain' might sound like a different word.
Yes, especially when paired with 'Nahaiyya' (final). 'Mawa'eed Nahaiyya' means deadlines. In a project management context, this is the standard way to refer to the dates by which tasks must be completed. It carries the weight of a firm commitment.
It depends on the verb. 'Iltizam bi' (commitment to) uses 'bi'. 'Fi al-mawa'eed' (in the appointments/schedules) uses 'fi'. For example, 'I am on time' is 'Ana fi al-maw'id'. Generally, 'fi' is used for the time itself, and 'bi' is used for the act of adhering to it.

Summary
The word 'Mawa'eed' (مواعيد) is essential for scheduling and time management. Example: 'Mawa'eed al-amal' (Work hours/appointments). It emphasizes the importance of keeping one's word regarding time.
- Mawa'eed is the plural of Maw'id, meaning appointments or scheduled times.
- It comes from the root 'to promise', implying a commitment to show up.
- Commonly used in medical, professional, and social contexts across the Arab world.
- Requires feminine singular adjectives and is often used with verbs like 'book' or 'cancel'.
Plural Agreement
Always remember that 'Mawa'eed' is a non-human plural. This means any adjective you use to describe it must be feminine singular. For example, 'Mawa'eed kathira' (many appointments) not 'kathirun'. This is a common mistake for beginners.
The 'Insha'Allah' Factor
When someone says 'See you at 5, Insha'Allah,' they are using 'Mawa'eed' in a cultural context. It doesn't necessarily mean they will be late, but it acknowledges that things can change. Don't take it as a sign of unreliability immediately.
Root Connection
Connect 'Mawa'eed' to the word 'Wa'd' (promise). If you think of an appointment as a promise you made to someone, it will be easier to remember the word and its importance in Arabic-speaking cultures.
Natural Phrasing
Instead of saying 'I have times,' always use 'Indi mawa'eed' when talking about your schedule. It sounds much more native and professional. 'Awqat' sounds too vague for a person with a plan.
