Ik heb een afspraak

I have an appointment

Scheduled meeting.

🌍

문화적 배경

The 'Agenda' is king. Don't be surprised if a friend asks to schedule a coffee three weeks in advance. It's not personal; it's cultural. While similar, Flemish people might be slightly more spontaneous than the Dutch, but 'een afspraak hebben' is still the standard for professional life. In Surinamese Dutch, time can be more fluid. An 'afspraak' at 2:00 might actually start at 2:30, reflecting a more relaxed cultural approach to time. Punctuality is a sign of respect. If you have an 'afspraak', arriving 5 minutes early is 'on time', and arriving exactly on time is 'late'.

🎯

The 'Bij' Rule

Always use 'bij' when the appointment is at a place of business (bij de bank, bij de kapper, bij de dokter).

⚠️

Punctuality

If you have an 'afspraak', being 5 minutes late is considered quite rude in the Netherlands. Call ahead if you are delayed!

Agenda Culture

Don't be offended if a Dutch person pulls out their phone or paper agenda immediately after you suggest meeting up.

Yes, but it sounds a bit formal. 'Afspraakje' or 'date' is more common for romance.

'Meeting' is specifically for business/office contexts. 'Afspraak' is the general word for any appointment.

You say: 'Ik ben wat later voor onze afspraak.'

No, for restaurants or hotels, use 'reservering'.

Yes! 'We hebben een afspraak' can also mean 'We have a deal/agreement'.

It means 'A deal is a deal' or 'An agreement must be kept'. It's a very common Dutch saying.

Use 'met' (Ik heb een afspraak met een vriend).

Say: 'Kan ik een afspraak maken?'

Yes, 'afspraken'. For example: 'Ik heb vandaag veel afspraken.'

Not usually. For a party, you just say 'Ik ga naar een feestje'. An 'afspraak' implies a 1-on-1 or small group meeting.
