뜻
To schedule a meeting.
문화적 배경
The 'Quarto d'ora accademico' (Academic Quarter Hour) is a cultural grace period. Even with an 'appuntamento', being 10-15 minutes late is often tolerated in social and some professional contexts. In Milan, punctuality for an 'appuntamento' is taken very seriously. Being late is seen as a lack of professionalism and respect. Appointments may be treated more flexibly. It's common to 'prendere appuntamento' but then have a long chat before getting to the business at hand. Many public offices now require an 'appuntamento' via an app (like 'Ufficio Postale' or 'CieOpen'). Showing up without one often means you won't be served.
The 'Da' Rule
Always use 'dal' (da + il) when booking with a person. 'Prendo appuntamento dal dentista' (at the dentist's place).
No 'Fare'!
Avoid 'fare un appuntamento'. It's the most obvious sign of an English speaker.

자주 묻는 질문
4 질문Technically yes, but it sounds very formal or like a joke. For a romantic date, just say 'Ho un appuntamento' (I have a date).
The version with 'un' is more common when talking about a specific instance. The version without 'un' is more general or bureaucratic.
Use the verb 'disdire'. 'Vorrei disdire l'appuntamento di domani.'
It's understood, but 'prendere appuntamento' is much more natural. 'Prenotare' is better for tables and hotels.
