✕Common Mistakes
Hoje estarei disponível às 14h.
‘às’ means ‘at the’ and changes the meaning; use ‘a partir das’ to indicate a starting point.
Hoje estou disponível a partir das 14h.
Present tense ‘estou’ refers to now; the future ‘estarei’ correctly signals a later time.
Hoje estarei disponível a partir das 14:00.
While understandable, the standard written form in Portuguese is ‘14h’ without a colon.

Cultural Tip
In Brazil the 24‑hour clock (e.g., 14h) is preferred in business emails and formal messages, while the 12‑hour clock with ‘pm’ is common in casual speech. Using ‘a partir das’ sounds polite and precise, avoiding ambiguity about when the availability begins.
