City Hall will be closed on the day after All Souls' Day

It will not be a working day at City Hall on the day after All Souls' Day
Peer comment(s):

neutral Maria Eugenia Farre : Could be, if Prefeitura is relevant in the context. Otherwise it may mean that City Hall has declared the day after All Soul's a municipal holiday

you could be right, it may be implied, but it doesn't really say that in the sentence
agree Carla Queiro (X) : This is correct. They are not declaring a municipal holiday. They will be closed on Friday this year, next year will be different

thanks, Carla
neutral Susy Ordaz : I too understand this phrase as Farre does. It leaves room for doubt.

neutral Joon Oh : Não concordo com "closed" porque n'ao h[a o mesmo sentido de "emenda" em português. Porém, não quero tirar um ponto.

neutral R. Alex Jenkins : Marina, I can't see where the sentence states the actual changes. It just says that changes will be made.

Marina tem razão! Ela deve tirar um ponto de mim também. Eu estava concentrado só dead people's day!
Pode ser " The civil hall will antecipate a day as the Dead People's Day weekend."

Cada final da semana emendado por motivo de holiday, falam aquele nome de dia mais weekend, como "Independence Day weekend", "East weekend"..

disagree marina hennies : amend means: improve, make changes

Marina, já acrescentei na observação sobre isso! Sistema Kudoz não aceita correção na mesmo processo, Por exemplo, não posso cancelar e entrar de novo ou duas veze. Foi um lapso meu que cliquei numa fração de segundo, porém já acconteceu. ok?

neutral R. Alex Jenkins : Yes, could be, but just speculation as to the duration of the holiday. Maybe the holiday had previously been cancelled and now its been reinstated?
