Cultural Tip
In French, ‘libre’ is commonly used to talk about personal availability, while ‘disponible’ sounds a bit more formal or professional. French speakers usually specify the exact time (e.g., ‘jeudi matin’ without a preposition) and avoid adding the article ‘le’ before the day unless they mean ‘on Thursdays in general.’
