The English phrase "class schedule" is translated into Spanish as horario de clases.
This phrase refers to a list of the specific days and times when lessons take place. While horario de clases focuses specifically on the individual lessons, you may also see horario escolar used to refer more broadly to a school schedule.
What does it mean word for word?
The word horario is derived from hora (hour) and literally refers to a timetable or schedule.
Is it said differently in some regions?
In some Latin American countries, you may also encounter the term cronograma de clases to mean "class schedule".
How does it change in a sentence?
To express the plural "class schedules", you pluralize the head noun horario to become horarios de clases.
Did you know?
- In some regions, a student might say their horario is 'heavy' (pesado) to describe a schedule with too many difficult subjects on one day.
- In many Spanish-speaking countries, the horario is not just a list of times but is often referred to as a horario escolar, which can include mandatory nap times or long midday breaks for meals.
- While horario de clases is universally understood, using cronograma in a school setting might sound more like a professional project management timeline rather than a student's daily routine.
