Appointment
Hi teachers,
I have a question about the word "appointment"
This is from Marriem Webster's dictionary.
??an agreement to meet with someone at a particular time??
Say I called up my friend and we're going to meet each other in a particular time to talk and drink coffee etc..
Can I say "I have an appointment with my friend"?

Yes, but no one would say that. You have a date with your friend or you are meeting your friend for coffee. "Appointment" is more for official arrangements, like with a doctor or architect.

The word "appointment" normally refers to a more formal type of meeting, such as a business meeting or a visit to a doctor. We do not normally use it when we are meeting friends.
