我们每天九点准上课: Is this sentence ambiguous?

[HashiriKata]

我们每天九点准上课.

I saw the above sentence and came up with these 2 possible interpretations:

[我们每天九点整//上课.]

[我们每天九点//一定上课.]

Does it indeed have these 2 senses? or perhaps only one is possible and I'm wrong?

Thanks!

I have not seen the word 准 used like this. Would it be a typo of 準時?

[errisa]

I think it would be a little wrong.

It should be said: 我们九点准时（准点）上课

It means we will begin our lesson at 9 O'clock.

[HashiriKata]

Thank you skylee and Errisa!

I typed it out just as I found it (我们每天九点准上课). It was an example from a Chinese textbook.

Do you both mean that it doesn't even mean 我们每天九点一定上课 ?

(If so it would be very curious, as the lesson was about 准 = 一定, and 我们每天九点准上课 was given as an example)

[skylee]

yes I mean I suspect that it should have been 準時, meaning that the class starts at 9 o'clock sharp.

oh i'm so drunk ...

[errisa]

No,I think

我们每天九点一定上课 . and 我们每天九点整上课

the two sentence have the same meaning.

and both mean: We begin the lesson at 9 O'clock.

here 准 means: not 9:01 and not 8:59 or other time, just at 9 O'clock

[HashiriKata]

oh i'm so drunk ...

干杯！ 为了你的健康...

I am Chinese,before sending I amended this reply three times:)

Both interpretations are right.The sentence has different meaning in different enviroment.The sentence is seldom in written Chinese.

But mostly we say我们每天九点准上课.means 我们每天九点//一定上课.

[HashiriKata]

I'm pleased to know the book was not wrong after all. Trauma's saying that it's not used in written language is particular relevant.

Thank you all!

The two sentences are used in two different environment:

For example:

1.

You ask your teacher: "明天什么时候上课？" ( You don't know when the class begin. )

He will answer : "明天九点整上课" ( That means the class begin at 9 o'clock )

2.

You ask your teacher: "明天天气很糟糕，9点能上课吗？" ( You know the time, but you worry about the bad weather probably delay the class. )

He will answer: "明天9点准上课” (That means he confirms that the class will begin at 9 o'clock no matter what the weather it is. )

I hope my examples will help you.
