Today's Lesson
IS (3 o'clock) GOOD FOR YOU? / CAN WE MAKE IT (4 o'clock)?   
（３時）はご都合いかがでしょうか。／（４時）にしてくれませんか。

Explanation

  • When suggesting a time to meet or talk with someone, you can ask Is (time) good for you?

    When suggesting a different time than what's already been arranged or suggested, you can ask Can we make it (time)?

    Be Careful! Both of these expressions are slightly informal.
  • 誰かと会ったり話したりする時刻を提案する場合、Is (time) good for you? （（時刻）はご都合いかがでしょうか。）と尋ねることができます。

    すでに決まっている、または提案された時刻とは異なる時刻を提案する場合は、Can we make it (time)? （（時刻）にしてくれませんか。）と言うことができます。

    注意：この２つの言い方は、ややくだけた表現です。
