Anna Müller Good morning, Frau Müller speaking. Does Doctor Weber have a vacant appointment? Frau Krug Yes, of course, Ms. Müller. We have an appointment at 10:20 or ten minutes later at half-past ten. Is that OK? Anna Müller What time is it now? Frau Krug It is 10:05. Anna Müller No, I can't manage that.

der Termin (-e)  appointment  die Ärztin (-innen)  This is the word to describe the profession of "doctor". The masculine is "der Arzt" (pl. - Ärzte). When you are using "doctor" in connection with a name, you would use the word "der Doktor" regardless of gender - i.e. Frau Doktor Weber.  Hat (sie) einen Termin frei?  "Does she have a vacant appointment?". The word "frei" literally means "free". natürlich  of course um 10.20 Uhr  "At 10.20". Note that this is said "um zehn Uhr zwanzig", although "Uhr" actually follows "zwanzig" when it is written. später  later um halb elf "At half-past ten". Literally: "half (to) eleven". ist das in Ordnung?  Is that OK?

This will be discussed in more detail later. der nächste  "The next one", as in the next appointment. As "der Termin" is a masculine noun, the gender of the definite pronoun will also be masculine. um 11.00 Uhr  Spoken = "um elf Uhr" - "at 11 o'clock". ist Ihnen das Recht?  Is that all right for you? da kann ich  "I can manage that".
