Work through three calls to a hair salon: book a visit, move it to a later day, then cancel. You will name the change you want and repeat the agreed day and time.
The idea
Use randevu almak to book and randevum var to say you already have an appointment. When changing that appointment, make it the object: randevumu. Ertelemek moves it later; iptal etmek cancels it. To request a different time, use Randevumu saat dörde alabilir misiniz? The new time is the destination of the change, whereas saat dörtte tells when the visit takes place. Finish by confirming the day and hour. The polite misiniz addresses the person arranging the appointment.

Müşteri: İyi günler, perşembe günü saç kesimi için randevu almak istiyorum. Kuaför: Saat üç uygun mu? Müşteri: Evet, teşekkür ederim.
Müşteri: Merhaba, perşembe günü saat üçte randevum var ama o gün gelemeyeceğim. Cuma gününe erteleyebilir miyiz? Kuaför: Cuma günü saat dört boş. Müşteri: Benim için uygun. Kuaför: Tamam, cuma günü saat dörtte bekliyoruz.
Müşteri: Tekrar merhaba. Cuma günü de gelemeyeceğim. Randevumu iptal etmek istiyorum. Kuaför: Peki, randevunuzu iptal ediyorum.

Watch out
Do not use ertelemek to ask for an earlier slot: it means postponing. Use daha erken bir saate almak for moving earlier. Nor does iptal etmek request a replacement slot; if you want another time, say so explicitly.
Try it yourself
Choose the verb: you are the customer booking a haircut.
Show answer or example answer
almak
almak: you are requesting a slot as the customer; vermek would describe giving someone an appointment.
Choose the verb: keep the appointment, but move it to a later day.
Show answer or example answer
ertelemek
ertelemek: the visit is still wanted, and the prompt specifies a later day, so cancellation would change the intention.
Write the whole time phrase: move the appointment to four o’clock.
Show answer or example answer
saat dörde
saat dörde: four is the new target time, so dört takes the dative and its final t becomes d. Saat dörtte would say when the visit happens.
Choose the expression: cancel the appointment without choosing a new day.
Show answer or example answer
iptal etmek
iptal etmek: no replacement day is wanted. This expression removes the appointment instead of leaving it for later.

With a partner, book a haircut for Thursday at three. Call again to move it to Friday at four and confirm the new time. In a third call, cancel without arranging another appointment. Swap roles.
