How to Say ‘Until six in the afternoon on Saturday.’ in Portuguese
Até às seis da tarde de sábado.
ah-TEH azh saysh dah TAR-duh duh SAH-buh-doo
[ah-TEH azh saysh dah TAR-duh duh SAH-buh-doo]
💬 Usage Tip: [às] is the usual form before plural clock times, because [a] + [as] contracts: [às seis], [às oito]. European Portuguese also tends to reduce unstressed vowels, so [da tarde] may sound closer to (duh TAR-d).
