MHRS offers booking by website, mobile app and ALO 182. These three invented exchanges practise requests, unsuitable times and cancellation. They are language exercises, not the service’s call script.

The idea

Use randevu almak for booking and randevumu when an existing appointment is the object of a change or cancellation. Randevumu başka bir güne almak istiyorum requests a different day; Randevumu iptal etmek istiyorum requests cancellation. İstiyorum presents what you want, not a completed action. Muayene is the medical examination or consultation, whereas randevu is the appointment.

Read the text

— Merhaba, yarın için randevu almak istiyorum. — Hangi bölümden randevu almak istiyorsunuz? — Göz hastalıkları bölümünden. — Sabah saat dokuz size uygun mu? — Bu saat bana uygun değil. Öğleden sonra boş yer var mı?

— Randevumu başka bir güne almak istiyorum. — Hangi gün size uygun? — Perşembe günü saat onda boş yer var mı?

— Cuma günkü randevumu iptal etmek istiyorum. — Randevunuz saat kaçta? — Saat on birde. — İptal işlemi tamamlandı. — Randevum iptal edildi mi? — Evet, iptal edildi.

Read-aloud uses a synthetic Turkish voice available on your device. Voice quality and availability vary; it does not assess your pronunciation.

Watch out

Bu saat bana uygun değil only says the time does not suit you; it does not explicitly request cancellation. Say which action you want. Then distinguish your request from Randevum iptal edildi mi?, which asks whether cancellation has happened. Asking for a different day does not guarantee a free slot.

Try it yourself

  1. Choose almak or iptal etmek: you want to book a new appointment.

    Show answer or example answer

    almak

    almak: the speaker wants a new booking. With iptal etmek, the sentence would instead ask to cancel an appointment.

  2. Choose gün or güne: you want to move your appointment to another day.

    Show answer or example answer

    güne

    güne: the day is the destination of the change, so gün takes -e. Its last vowel, ü, selects the front-vowel form; gün alone does not express “to another day” here.

  3. Choose iptal etmek or muayene olmak: you want to cancel Friday’s appointment.

    Show answer or example answer

    iptal etmek

    iptal etmek: the existing Friday appointment is what the speaker wants cancelled. Muayene olmak means to be examined, so it would express a different intention and does not take randevumu as its object.

  4. Choose mi or mı to ask whether the appointment has been cancelled.

    Show answer or example answer

    mi

    mi: the last vowel of edildi is i, so the question uses mi, written separately. İptal edildi describes a completed cancellation; the question checks its result.

Use it today

Act out the three exchanges with a partner. Give a department and a preferred time, ask for another day, then practise cancelling a separate appointment and checking the result. Swap roles and times; continue with the bank-account lesson afterwards.
