When discussing time in Portuguese, "horas" (hours) is a fundamental word to know. At a C1 level, you should be comfortable with its various uses beyond simply asking "que horas são?". You'll find it in expressions related to duration, such as "trabalhei oito horas" (I worked eight hours), or when specifying exact times, like "o encontro é às três horas" (the meeting is at three o'clock). Understanding the nuances of "horas" also extends to idiomatic expressions and more complex temporal clauses, where it can imply a period or a specific point in time within a broader context.
