Here are my questions and thank you in advance for your answers.
1.약속은 10 일 금요일 11 시로 예정되어 있습니다.
The meeting is scheduled(set) for Tuesday the 10th at 11 A.M
1)The recorded voice said '금요일' so I think it should be 'Friday' right?
2) The order to say the date is confusing. What I've learned is that it should start from a small part, that is, time>day>date.....
So, it seems to me the right order is.. "The meeting is scheduled(set) for 11 am Tuesday the 10th"
Can you clarify this?
2. I know there are many different ways to interprete so I'd like to verify if my own answers are also correct in a business setting.
약속 장소가 어딘지 확인할 수 있을까요? Could I confirm where the meeting takes place?
화요일 괜찮으신지요? Would Tuesday work for you?

Hi Eunhye!

Can you clarify this?
-> I agree that it is common to write in the order of time>day>date, I really don’t think this is the “right” way. It can be written many different ways without it being wrong, especially in this case, it wouldn’t matter if the “11 A.M” comes before “Tuesday” or after 10th.

-> I don’t think it is wrong, but just a bit odd way of phrasing it I guess?

화요일 괜찮으신지요? Would Tuesday work for you?
-> Yes, this sounds 100% fine to me!
