意思
Used to ask for the specific time of an event.
文化背景
In Spain, social events often start much later than in other countries. If someone says 'A las diez' for dinner, they mean 10:00 PM. The plural form '¿A qué horas?' is extremely common and perfectly acceptable in casual speech, though teachers might correct it. Punctuality can be relaxed for parties. If a party is 'a las nueve,' arriving at 9:00 PM might mean you are the first one there by an hour. The word 'ahorita' is often used as a vague answer to '¿A qué hora?', meaning anything from 'now' to 'later' or 'never.'
The 'A' Rule
Always answer with 'A las...' or 'A la...'. If the question has an 'A', the answer needs one too!
Silent H
Never pronounce the 'h' in 'hora'. It's 'O-ra', not 'Ho-ra'.
