How to Say ‘I'd like to schedule a time’ in Traditional Chinese

我想安排一個時間

wǒ xiǎng ān pái yī gè shí jiān

[waw shyang ahn-pie ee guh shir-jyen]

💬 Usage Tip: [想] before a verb often means "would like to" rather than a strong "want." The pattern [我想] + action is very useful: [我想改時間] = "I'd like to change the time."
