To me (non-native, Spain), I read "office hours" as the time when I was a teacher in university: you have a set period of time where you are marked as available in your office for student consultation. I'm pretty sure that's what "office hours" is supposed to mean, although in Spanish and Catalan the word used would literally translate as "consultation hours" (horas/hores de consulta).
- joshuaissac 6y agoThe phrase is used in the same sense at universities in England.
- phone_book 6y agoThis is the same in the US based on my experience
- umanwizard 6y agoThe term "office hours" in American English can mean either of these concepts, but in the current context it clearly means the one you suggest ("horas de consulta").
