appointment
The German word for appointment is "Termin". It is used in the same way as in English, to refer to a scheduled meeting or event. For example, you might have a doctor's appointment (Arzttermin) or a business meeting (Geschäftstermin). It is important to keep track of your appointments and arrive on time, as punctuality is highly valued in German culture.
