Confirming & Changing Plans

Di akhir lesson ini, kamu bisa:

Mengonfirmasi sebuah rencana dengan frasa yang umum dan sopan.
Meminta menjadwal ulang, menunda, atau memajukan pertemuan.
Menolak atau membatalkan dengan sopan disertai alasan singkat.

Penjelasan (ID)

Setelah waktu diusulkan, kita perlu mengonfirmasi (setuju), atau kadang mengubah rencana karena ada bentrok. Lakukan keduanya dengan sopan.

1. Mengonfirmasi (setuju)

Frasa singkat ini menunjukkan rencana sudah disepakati:

Frasa	Nuansa
That works (for me).	Cocok / bisa
Sounds good.	Oke, setuju (santai)
That's fine.	Tidak masalah
Perfect, see you then.	Sangat cocok, sampai jumpa

2. Mengubah rencana

Gunakan Can we...? atau Could we...? (lebih sopan) + kata kerja perubahan:

reschedule = menjadwal ulang → Can we reschedule to Thursday?
postpone = menunda ke waktu lebih lambat → Could we postpone until next week?
bring (it) forward = memajukan ke waktu lebih awal → Can we bring the meeting forward to 9?

Perhatikan: postpone = mundur (lebih lambat), bring forward = maju (lebih awal). Jangan tertukar!

3. Menolak / membatalkan dengan sopan

Selalu beri alasan singkat dan tawarkan alternatif:

I'm afraid I can't make it on Friday: it clashes with another meeting.
Sorry, something has come up. Can we reschedule?

Kata I'm afraid... membuat penolakan terdengar lebih halus dan profesional.

Examples (English)

"Tuesday at 10? That works for me." "I'm afraid I can't make it at 3: it clashes with a client call." "Could we postpone the review until next Monday?" "Can we bring the meeting forward to 9 instead of 11?"
