Making Appointments in Portuguese

- Ele/Ela marca — He/She schedules

Using Queria for Polite Requests
In European Portuguese, queria (imperfect of querer) is the polite way to make requests:
- Queria marcar uma reunião. — I would like to schedule a meeting.
- Queria cancelar o meu compromisso. — I would like to cancel my appointment.
This is more polite than using quero (I want).
Asking About Availability
- Está disponível na terça-feira? — Are you available on Tuesday?
- Tem hora disponível? — Do you have an available time slot?
- A que horas posso ir? — What time can I come?
- Pode ser às 14h? — Can it be at 2 PM?
Changing or Cancelling
- Posso adiar para a próxima semana? — Can I postpone to next week?
- Preciso de cancelar a consulta. — I need to cancel the appointment.
- Posso mudar a hora? — Can I change the time?
Compromisso vs Consulta vs Reunião
- Compromisso — General appointment or commitment
- Consulta — Medical or professional appointment
- Reunião — Meeting (work or group)

Typowe błędy
Quero fazer uma consulta.Quero marcar uma consulta.Use 'marcar' (to book/schedule) for appointments, not 'fazer' (to do/make)
Eu sou disponível segunda-feira.Eu estou disponível segunda-feira.Use 'estar' for temporary states like availability, not 'ser'
Preciso cancelar a consulta.Preciso de cancelar a consulta.In European Portuguese, 'precisar' requires 'de' before an infinitive: 'preciso de + verb'
Posso adiar a reunião em sexta-feira?Posso adiar a reunião para sexta-feira?Use 'para' (to/for) when rescheduling to a specific day, not 'em' (in/on)
Queria agendar uma reunião.Queria marcar uma reunião.While 'agendar' is understood, 'marcar' is the standard European Portuguese verb for scheduling appointments
