How to Say ‘When would you be available?’ in Portuguese

Q: What does "Quando estaria disponível?" mean in English?

"Quando estaria disponível?" means "When would you be available?" in English. Usage tip: Portuguese often leaves out [você] when it's clear from the verb or the situation, so [Quando estaria disponível?] still means [When would you be available?]. That omission is very common and sounds natural, especially in polite professional speech.

Quando estaria disponível?

kwahn-doh ehs-tah-ree-ah dees-poh-nee-vehl

[kwahn-doh ehs-tah-ree-ah dees-poh-nee-vehl]

💬 Usage Tip: Portuguese often leaves out [você] when it's clear from the verb or the situation, so [Quando estaria disponível?] still means [When would you be available?]. That omission is very common and sounds natural, especially in polite professional speech.

🇵🇹 In Portugal: This is polite and appropriately indirect for arranging a follow-up with someone you met at a career event. It feels smoother than a more direct [Quando pode?] with a new contact.
