Significado
A significant scheduled appointment.
Contexto cultural
In Russia, 'important meetings' are often very formal. It is common to exchange business cards (визитки) at the very beginning. If you are invited to a 'важная встреча' at someone's home (rare but possible for high-level networking), never arrive empty-handed. Bring a small gift like chocolates. While Moscow traffic is a famous excuse, for a 'важная встреча', being late is seen as a sign of disrespect. Always aim to be early. Russians value 'soulful' (душевный) connection even in business, but a 'важная встреча' usually starts with a very serious, 'stony' face before warming up.
Use 'На'
Always remember to use 'на' when you are going to or are at a meeting: 'Я на встрече'.
Gender Agreement
Don't say 'Важный встреча'. It's a common mistake that immediately marks you as a beginner.
