Appointment/date
In Spanish and Catalan we usually use ‘cita’ for when we have arranged to meet somebody for professional advice and for when we when we have arranged to meet somebody for leisure. However, these two words are very different in English.
Appointment is the word we should use for professional advice like when we go to the doctor for health reasons.
Date is the word we should use for reasons related to meeting somebody for fun or leisure (even if it ends in an argument 😉 )
