    on time = na hora
    in time = a tempo

    Certo?

    Alex, what's the difference between "on time" and "in time"?

    Do you say:
    He arrived just in time to see the beginning of ... etc. or:
    He arrived just on time to...

    Yes, I think they're different...

    On time = at the planned time; neither late nor early:
    => Peter wants the meeting to start exactly on time.

    In time = with enough time to spare; before the last moment:
    => He would have died if they hadn't got him to the hospital in time.

    Thanks!
    Right you are, and I learn from you, as usual!

    So, all the variants (I believe I managed to understand most of them) refer to "on time" here, except the English, which says "in time" :) (maybe a mistake?)

    (I meant to say that Braulio's rendition was probably correct, albeit inconsistent with the English original...).

    (Oh, except for Shishir's, which rightfully translated "Él llegó a tiempo").

    Maybe... Do you know which is the original sentence?

    That's a good question. How does one go about it on Tatoeba? How do we look for the original sentence of a whole thread?

    I think it's impossible when we have "date unkown".

    So, it appears as if the Japanese was the original, and CK rendered it (or simply adopted it?) as "in time".

    Thanks, I read the whole thread to which you referred in the above link.

    So... since the Portuguese sentence is only linked to the English one, I have to change it, right?

    So it seems.
