When participants are in different places, a meeting time needs a shared reference.

The idea

Ask for the time zone, state your own location and confirm which time standard the invitation uses.

Examples

  • ¿En qué zona horaria es la reunión?Which time zone is the meeting in?
  • Estoy en Madrid.I am in Madrid.
  • ¿La hora indicada es local?Is the stated time local?
  • ¿Podría confirmar la hora en UTC?Could you confirm the time in UTC?
  • ¿El cambio de hora afecta a esta fecha?Does the clock change affect this date?
  • Gracias por aclarar la hora.Thank you for clarifying the time.

Watch out

Do not assume a stated hour is in your local time or that a clock change affects every place equally.
