Schedule & Booking

1. A que hora abre?

   What time does it open?

   Usage

   Asks when a shop or museum opens

   Grammar Note

   "At what time" is a que hora: the preposition a comes first, then que hora

2. Gustaríame facer unha reserva

   I would like to make a reservation

   Usage

   A polite way to ask to book at a restaurant or hotel

   Grammar Note

   "Gustaríame" is the conditional of gustar with me attached, expressing a polite wish. Facer unha reserva means "to book"

3. Canto dura a visita?

   How long does the visit take?

   Usage

   Asks how long a visit or tour lasts

   Grammar Note

   The interrogative canto has no accent. Durar, "to last", is the basic verb for asking about duration

4. O tren sae ás nove

   The train departs at nine o'clock

   Usage

   States or confirms a departure time

   Grammar Note

   Times other than one use ás (a + as); one o'clock is the singular á unha. Saír is irregular: the third person is sae

5. Está dispoñible o sábado pola tarde?

   Are you available Saturday afternoon?

   Usage

   A polite way to ask about someone's availability

   Grammar Note

   Weekdays take the article o (o sábado). Pola tarde is por + a tarde, "in the afternoon"

6. A que hora podo entrar no cuarto?

   What time can I get into the room?

   Usage

   Asks from what time you can enter your hotel room

   Grammar Note

   A room is cuarto. No is en + o. "To enter" is entrar en + place

7. Hai visitas guiadas en inglés?

   Are there guided tours in English?

   Usage

   Checks for English-language guided tours at museums or cathedrals

   Grammar Note

   Language names are lowercase (inglés). Guiadas agrees with visitas (feminine plural)

8. Cal é o último autobús?

   What is the last bus?

   Usage

   Checks the time of the last bus

   Grammar Note

   Último needs its accent. The plural of autobús is autobuses

9. Cancelei a miña reserva

   I cancelled my reservation

   Usage

   Tells someone you have cancelled your booking

   Grammar Note

   Cancelei is the first-person preterite of cancelar. Galician uses the simple past in everyday speech for finished actions

10. Teño que confirmar o meu voo

    I need to confirm my flight

    Usage

    Used when you must reconfirm a flight with the airline

    Grammar Note

    "Have to" is ter que + infinitive. Voo is the masculine noun for flight
