✕Common Mistakes

  • Oggi sarà disponibile a partire dalle 14.

    ‘sarà’ is third‑person singular; you need first‑person ‘sarò’ to say ‘I will be’.

  • Oggi sarò disponibile a partire da le 14.

    When combined with a number, the contraction ‘dalle’ is required, not the separate words ‘da le’.

  • Oggi sarò disponibile a partire dalle 14:00.

    Adding ‘:00’ after the hour is redundant in Italian; the number alone suffices.

↔Alternatives

  • Oggi potrò essere libero dalle 14 in poi.

    I’ll be free from 2 p.m. onward today.

  • Sarò a disposizione a partire dalle 14 di oggi.

    I’ll be at your disposal starting at 2 p.m. today.

  • A partire dalle 14, sono disponibile.

    From 2 p.m. onward, I’m available.

Cultural Tip

In Italy the 24‑hour clock is standard in written schedules, public transport timetables, and formal invitations. Saying 'dalle 14' sounds professional; in casual conversation you might hear 'dalle due' (using the 12‑hour clock).
