"The hours of the day"

Translation: Le ore del giorno

[JoeM.]

Le Ore del Giorno sounds like it could be the name of an Italian TV soap opera. :)

[Mucket]

Could "le ore" be written as "l'ore"? Or is the contraction only for "la" and "lo"?

[f.formica]

Yes, "le" isn't usually elided even in speech, i.e. the "e" is usually pronounced; then again, it could become l' in some literary contexts, e.g. poetry.

[Pocahontasymulan]

Why is not l'ora as l'orso, l'orologio, etc.? I believe that every time the word begins with vowel the article becomes " l' ". In this sentence I write "gli ore..." since I thought it was l'ora
