خلفية ثقافية
In Brazil, the 'horário comercial' is typically 08:00 to 18:00. However, shopping malls (shoppings) usually open later, at 10:00, and stay open until 22:00. In Portugal, many smaller shops still observe a lunch break (almoço), closing from 13:00 to 15:00. You might need to ask 'Que horas abre à tarde?' (What time does it open in the afternoon?). In Luanda, opening times can be very early to avoid the midday heat. It's common for markets to be bustling by 07:00.
The 'A' Secret
If you want to sound more polite or 'correct' in a formal email, always use 'A que horas'.
Don't say 'Que hora'
Even though English says 'What hour', Portuguese always uses the plural 'horas'.
