How do you say “I have a dentist appointment.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
I have a dentist appointment.
歯医者の予約があるんだ。
haishano yoyakuga arunda
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
歯医者の予約があります。
haishano yoyakuga arimasu
- I have … ＝ わたしは … がある watashiwa … ga aru
- a dentist appointment ＝ 歯医者の予約 haishano yoyaku
We do not usually say “わたしは watashiwa (= I)” in everyday conversation.
歯医者の予約が
a dentist appointment
＋
わたしは ありますI have
