        Usage notes

        edit
        • In Mexico and Central America, the adverb might accept degree adverbs (e.g. algo, muy, un poco, etc.), shifting its meaning to "late at night". The same phenomenon is observed in de noche (e.g. "Es muy de noche para estudiar." ("It's too late at night to study.")).[1]
