If I am going to "meet up with" someone, do I use conocer or encontrar or a different verb?

Question

I am meeting with some Cuban students to study for a citizenship exam. When asking what time would they like to meet, should I ask "¿A que hora encontramos?" or "¿A que hora conocemos?"

This is a good question and a very clear post! Welcome to the forum, Mbeap - --Mariana--, SEP 2, 2009

Answer 1

As almost all the possible answers are, we can say this sentence: ¿a qué hora nos reunimos?

Also the use of "can" is very used.

¿A qué hora podemos encontrarnos (o reunirnos)? ¿A qué hora podemos quedar? ¿A qué hora podemos vernos?

"Can" is not the word for "poder" because "poder" is a verb and "can" is a modal and not a verb. "poder" is "to be able" in English. This can cause a lot of problems for Spanish speakers who are learning English. - ian-hill, SEP 2, 2009

Answer 2

You could say:

"¿A que hora quedamos mañana?"

"Conocemos" is not correct here. The verb "conocer" (to meet) is used only when you meet for the first time.

Yes I go with that one the catch all verb "quedar"- - kenwilliams, SEP 2, 2009

Answer 3

Any of Nila's suggestions sound fine to me.

Nila is from Spain, but Cuban Spanish is not different in case you have any doubt.

Answer 4

It's also correct to say "A qué hora nos encontramos"

Answer 5

¿A qué hora nos vemos?
