Schedule & Booking

1. Ita-boot halo rezerva loron hira ba viajen ne'e?

   I-ta-bo-ot ha-lo re-zer-va lo-ron hi-ra ba vi-a-jen ne-e?

   How many days did you book for this trip?

   Usage

   Used to confirm the number of days reserved for a trip

   Grammar Note

   "halo rezerva" is making a booking ("buka" means "to look for", not "to book"). "loron hira" asks "how many days"

2. Aviaun dadeer aranka tuku hira?

   A-vi-aun da-de-er a-ran-ka tu-ku hi-ra?

   What time does the morning flight depart?

   Usage

   Used to ask about morning flight departure time

   Grammar Note

   Clock time is asked with "tuku hira" ("oras hira" asks how many hours). "aranka" is depart ("toba" means to lie down / sleep)

3. Hau sei fila fali iha segunda-feira.

   Hau sei fi-la fa-li i-ha se-gun-da-fei-ra.

   I will return on Monday.

   Usage

   Used to state the day of return

   Grammar Note

   sei marks future tense and plans, meaning "will" or "going to"

4. Ita-boot iha tempu livre ohin?

   I-ta-bo-ot i-ha tem-pu li-vre o-hin?

   Do you have free time today?

   Usage

   Used to ask if someone has free time today

   Grammar Note

   "Free time" is tempu livre. The spelling libre is wrong; the correct form is livre. Iha tempu is the existential expression "to have time".

5. Hau atu aranka orsida.

   Hau a-tu a-ran-ka or-si-da.

   I am about to leave soon.

   Usage

   Used to indicate an imminent departure

   Grammar Note

   "atu + verb" expresses the near future "about to", with "orsida" (soon) adding the timing. "boot" means "big", not "ready"

6. Ezibisaun ne'e remata bainhira?

   E-zi-bi-saun ne-e re-ma-ta bain-hi-ra?

   When does this exhibition end?

   Usage

   Used to ask when an exhibition or event ends

   Grammar Note

   remata means "to end" or "finish," used for asking schedule endpoints

7. Rezerva iha tinan hira?

   Re-zer-va i-ha ti-nan hi-ra?

   In what year was the reservation made?

   Usage

   Used to confirm which year a booking was made

   Grammar Note

   tinan means "year"; combined with hira it forms "what year"

8. Oráriu tur ne'e muda tiha?

   O-ra-riu tur ne-e mu-da ti-ha?

   Has the tour schedule changed?

   Usage

   Used to check if a tour or activity schedule has been changed

   Grammar Note

   "Schedule, timetable" is oráriu (oráriu voo = "flight schedule"); horario keeps the Portuguese spelling horário and is not used. Tur ("tour") is used as in tur kota ("city tour"). Tiha follows a verb as a completive aspect marker

9. Loron ida liu tiha, hau sei ba Bali.

   Lo-ron i-da liu ti-ha, hau sei ba Ba-li.

   One day later, I will go to Bali.

   Usage

   Grammar Note

   "liu tiha" (having passed) is "after". There is no construction "nia depois" — "nia" means "his/its"

    Hau pre-si-za ha-te-ne a-go-ra da-daun.

    I need to know right now.

    Usage
