Lightbulb Cambiar de hora
Cómo se diría en inglés :
Cambiar la hora
adelantar una hora
atrasar una hora

Contexto : El cambio de hora que tiene luegar en Marzo y Octubre para vovlernos locos a todos.

To change the clocks. (Illogical, because you don't swap the clock for another one)
The clocks go forwards one hour
The clocks go back one hour

Would change the time work?

Because after all, one asks "what time it is and not what clock it is. Right?

Sí. Fue claro en decir que era ilógico "cambiar el reloj", porque uno cambia la hora y no el reloj. Bueno, usualmente.

Pero tampoco cambias la hora (en sí). Lo que cambias es el estado del reloj, o lo que muestra.

Bueno tal vez estoy proyectando semántica inglesa de forma inadecuada (o siendo demasiado filosófico), pero lo que está cambiando me parece ser no la hora sino la representación de ella.

Una pregunta que me acaba de ocurrir: cuando cruzas de una zona horaria a otra y ajustas el reloj, ¿también dices que estás cambiando la hora?

Y para decir en inglés :
En TUrquía es una hora más tarde que en España
o en NY son seis horas antes. Se traduciría literal, after and before or later and earlier

Te entiendo.

Sí. Se dice que cambia la hora/el horario.

Creo que dirías algo como "NY is six hours behind", "Turkey is one hour ahead".

Trapped between a precipice and some old-fashioned machinery?



I find references to "ahead" and "behind" (or "forward" and "back") in the context of time unhelpful. I would rather say that my clock is set to CEST (GMT+2 / UTC+2).

Turkey is one hour ahead of us, and New York is six hour behind.

Then all you need to remember is that we are in DST - Daylight Savings Time
