Could we not say as below:
We should meet -at mutual- convenient time.
Thanks,

Ms. Milanya,
"deleted" is your answer.
How?
Is the sentence - "We should meet -at mutual- convenient time."
not correct grammatically?
Please confirm,
Thanks,
Er.S.M.M.Hanifa |

Hi!Greetings!
Let me try to explain this with samples.
'Mutual' is an adjective. E.G.: It is Mutual.
Here in this sentence you want to modify the meaning of the adjective convenient..
Convenient is an adjective. If you have to modify the meaning of an adjective you have to use an adverb.
e.g.: The grapes are sweet. The grapes are very sweet. In the second sentence,” The grapes are very sweet” the word “very” is the adverb modifying the adjective “sweet.” Even like that here you require “mutually’ the adverbial form of the word ‘mutual.’ So this should be as Kitosdad suggests, We should meet at a mutually convenient time.." best of luck, nanucbe |

No, it is not my answer. I hit Send by mistake and could not find a way to eliminate my erroneous post. I deleted the text instead.
Nanucbe's answer about adjectives and adverbs is correct.
