A Tuesday constraint and a Wednesday arrangement

A fictional written Catalan message reads “No puc venir dimarts. Ens trobarem dimecres a les cinc”. The listener is asked to identify the arrangement after hearing a partner read the script, then compare the answer with the text. One answer chooses Tuesday merely because it appears first; another invents an earlier morning meeting. The actual message states inability to attend Tuesday and gives Wednesday at five for the meeting. No recording, accent, background noise or independent speaker consent is supplied beyond the words. A written response therefore measures interpretation of this script, not a complete auditory performance. The learner should separate the unavailable day from the stated meeting day and keep any assumptions about morning or afternoon separate where the phrasing gives only the hour.

An earlier morning meeting, a recording’s intonation or additional conditions are not supplied. The statement gives five without further morning/afternoon context.
