Now that we have familiarized ourselves with the necessary vocabulary, let's move on to understanding how to tell time in Bashkir.
Telling Time[edit | edit source]
Telling time in Bashkir involves combining the vocabulary we have just learned with additional time expressions. Let's first start with the basic structure of expressing time in Bashkir.
The general structure to express time in Bashkir is:
[Hour] + [Minutes] + [Time Expression]
Hours[edit | edit source]
To express the hours, we use the Bashkir numbers we learned earlier. For example:
- 1 hour = бер сәгәт (ber sägät)
- 2 hours = ике сәгәт (ike sägät)
- 3 hours = өч сәгәт (öch sägät)
- 4 hours = дүрт сәгәт (dürt sägät)
Minutes[edit | edit source]
To express the minutes, we also use the Bashkir numbers. However, there are some exceptions and variations. Let's take a look at the different patterns:
- For minutes from 1 to 9, we use the respective Bashkir number followed by the word "минут" (minut). For example:
* 1 minute = бер минут (ber minut) * 2 minutes = ике минут (ike minut) * 3 minutes = өч минут (öch minut) * 4 minutes = дүрт минут (dürt minut)
- For minutes from 10 to 19, we use the word "минут" (minut) followed by the specific number. For example:
* 10 minutes = минут он (minut on) * 11 minutes = минут бер (minut ber) * 12 minutes = минут ике (minut ike) * 15 minutes = минут биш (minut bish)
- For minutes from 20 to 59, we use the word "минут" (minut) followed by the tens and ones digits separated by the word "уғы" (uğı). For example:
* 20 minutes = минут уғы биш (minut uğı bish) * 25 minutes = минут уғы биш уғы бер (minut uğı bish uğı ber) * 30 minutes = минут уғы от (minut uğı ot) * 45 minutes = минут уғы дүрт уғы биш (minut uğı dürt uğı bish)
Time Expressions[edit | edit source]
To complete the expression of time, we use time expressions that indicate whether it is past, to, or exactly a specific hour. Let's explore the different time expressions in Bashkir:
- "бер сәгәттән алды" (ber sägätten aldy) - "past" or "after"
- "бер сәгәттән сике" (ber sägätten sike) - "to" or "before"
- "бер сәгәт" (ber sägät) - "exactly" or "at"
Now, let's put it all together and form complete time expressions in Bashkir.
Examples[edit | edit source]
Let's look at some examples of telling time in Bashkir:
- 1:30 PM = бер сәгәт уғы от алты минут (ber sägät uğı ot alty minut)
- 2:15 AM = ике сәгәт минут уғы биш (ike sägät minut uğı bish)
- 7:45 PM = уғы сегез сәгәт минут уғы дүрт уғы биш (uğı segez sägät minut uğı dürt uğı bish)
As you can see from the examples, we combine the hours, minutes, and time expressions to form complete time expressions in Bashkir.
Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]
In Bashkir culture, time is highly valued and respected. Punctuality is considered essential, especially in professional and formal settings. Arriving late to a meeting or appointment is generally frowned upon.
