Horario
This is a discussion thread for the Daily Spanish Word for April 22, 2009
horario (masculine noun (el)) — schedule, routine, time, timetable. Look up horario in the dictionary Si tienes a un niño adentro de un buen horario de comer y dormir, tendrás un niño feliz. If you keep your child in a good routine of eating and sleeping, you'll have a happy child.

Sí, pero a veces se usa calendario en ves de horario en español pero solamente en algunas cirunstacias. Agenda tambien a veces.
In English we use schedule and timetable. As nouns the words are interchangable. Schedule is commonly used as a verb, but timetable never is a verb. We use agenda and calendar too, but the meaning is slightly different. PS What's best way to say schedule an appiontment. I say hacer una cita, but I assume there's another way.

Creo que nosotros usamos Itinerario para el caso de salidas y llegadas de transportes varios. |

Calendario se usa para cuando el itinerario es para el mes/año completo y cambia de mes/año a mes/año. Agenda es mas bien usado para datos y citas personales o de negocios. Ya ni me acuerdo bien, pero creo que nosotros damos citas en vez de hacerlas. |

Agenda and calendar with the meaning of "horario"? I learnt schedule and timetable too, for "horario". Would you mind to put some examples? Thanks.
I'd never say "hacer una cita" in Spain, I'd say "concertar una cita" in formal language, for instance, in a letter: "Quisiéramos concertar una cita con ustedes...". You also can use "cita" in colloquial language, but then you'd say "tengo una cita con tal", it's used frequently with couples: "tengo una cita con ese chico que me gusta tanto". With a doctor or liberal profesionals you would say also either "tengo que concertar una cita con el abogado" or "tengo una cita con el abogado". |

No, nunca decimos, al menos aquí "me dará una cita", en todo caso decimos "me dará hora (para el dentista, por ejemplo)".
Itinerario aquí no es equivalente a horario. Aquí el itinerario es la ruta que sigue. Por ejemplo, si vas en autobús de Madrid a Salamanca, el itinerario sería (es un ejemplo, ¿eh?): Madrid - Segovia - Ávila - Salamanca. El horario del viaje sería: 10.30 y 20.30, por ejemplo si sale a las 10.30 de la mañana y a las 8.30 de la tarde. Hay qué ver, cuántas diferencias hay en un idioma según, no ya el país, sino la zona de que se trate. |

There are times I must "use make an appointment" in Spanish. Is concertar una cita generally what is used among Latin Americans as well? This is kind of important to me, because it relates to my work.

We use the word agenda too, with computer or with a notebook, where we note down the schedule of the appointments: "En mi agenda tengo apuntadas dos reuniones a la misma hora y una cita con el dentista". |

@Poli: I guess it depends on where you are and how formal you want to be.
"Concertar una cita" is very formal language (but it has the advantage that it will be understood everywhere). In daily Mexican words "pedir cita" or "pedir una cita" is the most common expression. "Pedir una cita" (to ask for an appointment) "Dar una cita" (to give an appointment) "Acordar una cita" (to agree to meet each other) "Tener una cita" (to have an appointment) Pedí una cita para la entrevista de trabajo. I asked for an appointment to do the job interview. Me dieron una cita para la entrevista mañana. I was given an appointment for the interview tomorrow. Si quiere ver el departamento, acordamos una cita para más tarde. If you want to see the appartment, we can agree to meet each other later. Ya llevas tres días enfermo, ¿todavía no tienes cita con el médico? You've been 3 days ill, don't you have an appointment with the doctor yet? Quisiera concertar una cita con ustedes para hablar de nuestros negocios. I'd like to make an appointment with you to talk about our business.

Thanks all. In the past I would say "¿quiere hacer una cita con el médico?
I imagine that it was accepted because it's obvious that Spanish is not my native language. From now on I will use concertar or acordar.
