✦Grammar Breakdown
DeinTerministum15Uhr
Possessive Determiner
‘Dein’ is the masculine/neuter singular form of the possessive determiner meaning ‘your’, matching the gender of ‘Termin’.
Noun Gender & Article Omission
‘Termin’ is a masculine noun (der Termin). In possessive constructions the article is omitted, so ‘Dein Termin’ is correct.
Verb ‘sein’ (to be)
‘ist’ is the 3rd person singular present of ‘sein’, used here to equate the subject with a time expression.
Preposition ‘um’ + Accusative for Time
‘um’ introduces a specific point in time and governs the accusative; the time phrase ‘15 Uhr’ functions as a temporal accusative without an article.
Numbers & ‘Uhr’
When telling the time, the number is spoken as a cardinal (fünfzehn) followed by ‘Uhr’ (hour).

✕Common Mistakes
Deine Termin ist um 15 Uhr.
‘Termin’ is masculine, so the correct possessive is ‘Dein’, not ‘Deine’.
Dein Termin ist bei 15 Uhr.
‘bei’ means ‘by/at’ in a different sense; for a specific point in time you must use ‘um’.
Dein Termin ist um 15:00 Uhr.
When speaking, you say ‘15 Uhr’; adding ‘Uhr’ after the digital format is redundant.

Cultural Tip
In German‑speaking countries the 24‑hour clock is the norm for written and spoken time, especially in professional settings. Saying ‘15 Uhr’ is preferred over ‘3 Uhr nachmittags’. Punctuality is highly valued, so confirming the exact hour (and often the minute) shows respect for the other person’s time.
