Een afspraak hebben.

Have an appointment.

Scheduled meeting.

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'Agenda' is sacred. Showing up without an appointment (zomaar langskomen) is often frowned upon, even for close friends. While also organized, Flemish culture can be slightly more spontaneous than Northern Dutch culture, but 'een afspraak' remains the standard for professional life. In Surinamese Dutch, the phrase is the same, but the cultural attitude toward the strictness of the 'time' might be more relaxed than in Amsterdam. Meetings are the backbone of the 'Poldermodel'. If you don't have 'afspraken' in your calendar, people might think you aren't working.

🎯

The 'Bij' Rule

Always use 'bij' for professionals who have a fixed location (dentist, hairdresser, doctor).

⚠️

Punctuality

If you have an 'afspraak' at 10:00, being there at 10:05 is considered late in the Netherlands.

The Diminutive

Use 'afspraakje' carefully; it's cute and social, but never use it for your boss!

Usually, we use 'reservering' for restaurants and hotels, but you can say 'Ik heb een afspraak om daar te eten' if you are meeting someone.

It is neutral. It works in both a hospital and a bar.

The plural is 'afspraken'. 'Ik heb veel afspraken vandaag.'
