I can't participate to the meeting

This phrase is not commonly used in English and may sound awkward to native speakers.

The preposition 'to' is not typically used with 'participate' in English. Instead, use 'in' to indicate the event or activity in which you are participating.

Alternatives:

  • I can't participate in the meeting

I can't participate in the meeting

This phrase is the more commonly used and accepted way to express that you are unable to join a meeting.

Use 'in' after 'participate' to indicate the event or activity in which you are taking part.
