When to use

Use this phrase in business or informal settings when you need to confirm a scheduled time, especially after someone has asked for the time of a meeting or event.

✦Grammar Breakdown

Ja,istfür14Uhrbestätigt.

1

Ja (affirmation)

Used to agree or confirm something, similar to 'yes' in English.

2

ist (sein, 3rd person singular)

The present tense of 'sein' used here as a copular verb linking the subject (implied 'es') with the predicate.

3

für + accusative

The preposition 'für' takes the accusative case; here it introduces the time specification.

4

Uhr (time noun)

When telling time, 'Uhr' follows the hour number and stays in the nominative/accusative form.

5

bestätigt (past participle)

Used predicatively after 'sein' to mean 'confirmed'; the participle functions like an adjective.

✕Common Mistakes

  • Ja, sind für 14 Uhr bestätigt.

    The verb must agree with the singular implied subject 'es', so 'ist' is correct, not 'sind'.

  • Ja, ist um für 14 Uhr bestätigt.

    When using 'für' to indicate a scheduled time, 'um' is not needed; mixing them creates a redundancy.

  • Ja, ist für 14 Uhr bestätigtet.

    The past participle of 'bestätigen' is 'bestätigt'; adding an extra '-et' is a common over‑regularisation error.

↔Alternatives

  • Ja, es ist für 14 Uhr bestätigt.

    Yes, it is confirmed for 2 p.m.

  • Ja, der Termin ist um 14 Uhr bestätigt.

    Yes, the appointment is confirmed for 2 p.m.

  • Ja, das ist für 14 Uhr festgelegt.

    Yes, that is set for 2 p.m.

Cultural Tip

In German‑speaking countries the 24‑hour clock is the norm for formal and business communication, so saying '14 Uhr' sounds more professional than '2 pm'. Also, Germans value punctuality, so confirming the exact hour is considered courteous.
