用法
- To arrange/agree on (a time, terms) after discussion; a mutual agreement - 约定见面时间 (yuēdìng jiànmiàn shíjiān) agree on a meeting time; 按照约定 as agreed.
- Both verb and noun for a mutual arrangement or promise. Contrast 预约 (yùyuē, to book/reserve an appointment): 约定 is a two-sided agreement/commitment, not a reservation.
