Business Spanish – Arranging to meet someone in Spanish Posted by on Oct 18, 2010 in Spanish Culture

Hello, there! Today we’re going to learn (or review!) useful expressions when you arrange to meet someone in a business context, in Spanish.

Let’s start by proposing a time or a place.

¿Cuál sería un buen día para usted? – What day’s good for you?

¿Puedo agendar para el viernes? – Can I put you down for Friday?

¿Qué tal el viernes para usted? – How’s Friday for you?

¿Y el lunes? – How about Monday?

¿Qué tal un un desayuno? – Does breakfast sound good?

¿Por qué no nos encontramos en …? – Why don’t we meet in/at…?

¿A las 9:00? – Say 9:00?

Si por algún motivo no puede, llámeme al móvil/celular. – If for any reason you can’t make it, just give me a call on my cell phone.

Sometimes you can’t go, so you might say some of the following sentences:

Creo que está un poco apretado. ¿Qué tal…? – That might be pushing it, I think. How about…?

Lo siento. No puedo. – Sorry, I can’t.

Tengo que… el viernes. – I have to … on Friday.

Estoy ocupadísimo esta semana. – I’m fully booked this week.

Tengo mil cosas que hacer. – I have a thousand things to do.

Tengo que consultar mi agenda. – I need to check my schedule.

¿Puedo llamarle? – Can I call you?

If you can go, you can use:

Está excelente. –Sounds good.

Muy bien. Nos vemos, entonces. – Ok, see you then.

Now, if you accept but something comes up and you can’t go, you can cancel:

Oiga, voy a tener que cancelar nuestro encuentro. – Listen, I have to cancel our meeting.

Ha surgido un imprevisto. – Something came up.

Discúlpeme. – Sorry about that.

No tuve cómo escapar. – There was no way I could get out of it.

Espero que usted entienda. – I hope you understand.

¿Vamos a dejarlo para la próxima semana? – How about getting together next week?

Eso es todo por hoy. Nos vemos prontito.
