Terminkalender vs Kalender

calendar

'Kalender' and 'Terminkalender' are very close when it comes to organizing appointments. However, 'Kalender' is more general: it can simply show the days, weeks, and months, or it can also contain personal appointments. 'Terminkalender' more specifically means a calendar in which appointments and meetings are entered. The words can be confused because in everyday life people often simply say 'Kalender' even when they mean a 'Terminkalender'. If the content matters, such as meetings, doctor’s appointments, or arrangements, 'Terminkalender' is more precise.

Visual example for Kalender
Terminkalender

Vor dem Termin prüft David noch einmal seinen Terminkalender.
