Explanation
The most important use of นัด is arranging a time to meet someone or to hold an appointment, meeting, or other activity. It can be a verb for making the arrangement or a noun for the resulting appointment. Common combinations include มีนัด, “have an appointment,” เลื่อนนัด, “reschedule or postpone an appointment,” and ยกเลิกนัด, “cancel an appointment.” Word order matters. นัดหมอ usually means to make an appointment with a doctor, while หมอนัดพรุ่งนี้ means that the doctor has instructed or arranged for someone to return tomorrow. In sports, นัด refers to one match or fixture. In a firearms context, it serves as the counter for shots and rounds of ammunition.
Usage
It is extremely common when arranging to meet friends, setting up business meetings or interviews, and making medical or salon appointments. It also appears in sports discussions for matches and in crime or news reports when counting gunshots.
Caution
นัด does not mean every kind of plan or future event. Use แผน for a general plan and กำหนดการ for a schedule or program. Also, ผิดนัด is stronger than simply being late: it means failing to appear as agreed or failing to fulfill an obligation at the appointed time.
