Transcript
Alp: Yarın programın nasıl?
Zeynep: Hemen bakıyorum ajandama. Saat sekiz buçukta Ahmet Bey’le toplantı var. Sonra, 10’a 10 kala Beşiktaş’ta olmam lazım. Saat 12’de öğle yemeği için Osman’la buluşuyorum. Öğlen 2 saat bir boşluğum var.
Alp: Ne yapacaksın o 2 saat?
Zeynep: Eve gitmek ve uyumak istiyorum. Çünkü Saat 3’ü çeyrek geçe arkadaşlarla sahilde yürüyüş var. Biraz enerji gerekiyor.
Alp: Anlaşıldı. Kaçta bitiyor yürüyüş?
Zeynep: Saat 5 gibi.
Alp: Yarın görüşemiyoruz yani…
Zeynep: Maalesef, akşam’a kadar doluyum. Cuma günü buluşmak ister misin?
Alp: Peki… Cuma görüşürüz.
Zeynep: Görüşürüz. Kendine iyi bak.
Alp: Sen de.
Translation
Alp: How is your schedule tomorrow?
Zeynep: I look at my agenda immediately. At eight o’clock there is a meeting with Ahmet Bey. Then I have to be in Beşiktaş at 9:50. I meet Osman for lunch at 12 o’clock. I have an availability of 2 hours at noon.
Alp: What are you going to do for those 2 hours?
Zeynep: I want to go home and sleep. Because quarter past 3 o’clock I go walking with friends on the beach. It needs some energy.
Alp: Got it. What time does the walk end?
Zeynep: Around 5 o’clock.
Alp: So, we can’t see each other tomorrow…
Zeynep: Unfortunately, I am full until the evening. Would you like to meet on Friday?
Alp: Well… See you on Friday.
Zeynep: See you. Take care of yourself.
Alp: You too.
