Answer 1

Nelson, your post is very unclear. Please make your requests/questions much clearer in future! Thank you : (If you do not do this I will have to flag posts like these as being unclear!)

I will attempt to answer what I think you are trying to ask but If this is not the information you are wanting I would advise you to re-write your question and make clear what you wanting to know!.

Do you know what time they will operate? (I assume/suppose you mean the doctors/surgeons operate?)

= ¿Sabe a qué hora operarán?

The verb operar is used to refer to medical operations.

It also can be used (like the verbs: funcionar and actuar) to refer to :

1 insurance policies taking effect.

2 The operating hours of flights taking-off from and landing at airports

3 and operations of trooops

Finally if you are wanting to know the hours that shops would open you would use the verb abrir = to open not operar

¿A qué hora abrirán las tiendas? = What time will the shops open?

I hope this answers your question

Answer 2

Feliz here in the states, it is common to see signs posted by store doors advising that doors must remain unlocked during hours of operation,

Yes but how am I supposed to know this if I have never been to the states as an adult? I was not aware that this was what was being refrred to by Nelson since no context was offered ? - FELIZ77, Feb 17, 2012
