No es de lo mas formal, pero [anytime] se puede decir entre colegas o amigos, es como si dijeras "cuando haga falta" o "cuando quieras".

Answer 3

I'm doing a translation.

The fact that you are doing a translation is both obvious and (largely) irrelevant. (Unless, by that, you mean to suggest that you prefer a "painfully literal" [word-for-word] translation) to an expression that people often use.

Of the suggested expressions, "a cualquier hora" strikes me as the least likely. in normal speech. The suggestions of Quentin, Sabor and Birdland all seem better to me than the one you "accepted".

I didn't read the question closely enough. I think that "a sus órdenes" is the answer. - 0074b507, Dec 12, 2010

Im curios on why you consider the fact that I asked the cuestion for a translation largely irrelevant. In my opinion It does make a difference if I need the answer just in case I wanna use it some day or for a translation where you need to be more exact - LovisaNordqvist, Dec 13, 2010

It might be that I got the "accept" button wrong. In my translation the "a cualquier hora" was the best in the context. That's why I accepted it. Even though the other answers ofcourse are good. - LovisaNordqvist, Dec 13, 2010

Answer 4

Polite responses are conventions, or idioms, not one-to-one translations. A sus órdenes is the closest I can think of to a conventional response that would approximate anytime but it is usually said by waiters or other people whose job it is to please others. So while it is polite it is relatively meaningless, just as you're welcome does not mean the speaker would actually welcome your asking for another favor. While it is important to use polite phrases that are conventional, If you want to stress your sincerity, put your feelings in your own words in addition to using the conventional response.
