which is correct? "if it is convenient for you" or "if it is convenient to you". if both are correct, what are the differences between them?

Thanks in advance.

Hi BTR

It's much more likely that I would say "if it is convenient for you". I might be making a specific, concrete suggestion for an appointment, for example:
If it is convenient for you, we could meet tomorrow at 2 p.m.

If I said "convenient to you", I would probably be referring to something more general or more theoretical -- i.e. something less specifically connected directly to 'you'. I might be asking someone whether something seems convenient to them generally speaking.
