Si el tiempo me permite

[Vinny Ribeiro]

Hey guys,

I'm a little unsure about whether this expression is literally translated into english (as well as the other languages I'm having a go at).

The expression is "se o tempo me permitir (-me)", "si el tiempo me permite", "si le temps me permet".

The only one I'm 100% positive about is portuguese. I was hoping I could get some suggestions in the english, spanish, and French.

Thanks a lot, guys.

English: Weather allowing.
Spanish: Si el tiempo me lo permite.

Sorry Canal Girl, I didn't make myself clear.

I don't mean tiempo as in Weather, but as in time...

Ex: Time allowing, I'll sure pay you a visit... (If that makes sense I guess your suggestion already helped me! ^^)

But what about "If time allows, ... ? which of the two would be used (more often)?


Thank you

 

[Hieroglyphic]

Time allowing or
If time allows it.

Both work for me. Also, you can use the verb to permit.

Time allowing or

I agree with Hieroglyphic.

Except that I prefer

Time permitting.
or
If time permits.
