意思
Indicates that the appropriate moment for an action has arrived.
文化背景
The 'hora de la comida' (lunchtime) is sacred, usually between 2:00 PM and 4:00 PM. If someone says 'Es hora de comer' in Spain, expect a long, multi-course meal, not a quick sandwich. The phrase 'Es hora de que nos vayamos' is often used at parties, but due to 'social politeness,' the actual departure might take another 30-60 minutes (the famous 'despedida'). The 'hora de la merienda' (afternoon snack) is a vital social bridge between work and the very late dinner (often at 10:00 PM). While punctuality varies, 'Es hora de empezar' in a formal meeting is a strict command. However, in social settings, 'Es hora de...' is often more of a suggestion than a rule.
The 'Ya' Trick
Add 'Ya' to the beginning to sound more like a native speaker when you're impatient. '¡Ya es hora!'
The Subjunctive Trap
If you add 'que', the next verb MUST change. 'Es hora de comer' vs 'Es hora de que comas'.
