A che ora vieni stasera?

A che ora vieni stasera?
What time are you coming tonight?
From Lesson 52:Telling time (sono le...)·Italian

Questions & Answers about A che ora vieni stasera?

Why do we need A at the beginning of A che ora?
A means 'at'. To ask 'at what time' an event happens, Italian uses a che ora. If you leave out the a and just ask Che ora è?, you are asking 'What time is it right now?'.
Why is the present tense verb vieni used if we are talking about the future (tonight)?
In Italian, it is very common to use the present tense for near-future, planned events. So vieni translates perfectly to 'are you coming' or 'will you come' in this context.
Where is the word for 'you' in this sentence?
The word for 'you' (tu) is hidden inside the verb vieni. Because vieni specifically means 'you come', Italian drops the subject pronoun unless you really need to emphasize who is doing the action.
What does stasera literally mean?
Stasera is a shortened combination of questa sera, which literally translates to 'this evening'. Italians use it as a single word to say 'tonight'.
