Hours[edit | edit source]

Let's start by learning how to express the hours in Odia. The hours in Odia are similar to the English hours, with a few differences in pronunciation. Here are the Odia numbers from 1 to 12 and their corresponding pronunciations:

To express the hours in Odia, simply say the corresponding number followed by the word "ଟା" (ta). For example, to say "one o'clock," you would say "ଏକ ଟା" (eka ta). Here are a few more examples:

Remember to use the correct Odia number for the corresponding hour. Practice saying the hours out loud to familiarize yourself with the pronunciation.

To express the minutes in Odia, simply say the corresponding number followed by the word "ମିନିଟ" (minita). For example, to say "five minutes," you would say "ପାଞ୍ଚ ମିନିଟ" (pancha minita). Here are a few more examples:

  • ଦଶ ମିନିଟ (dasa minita) - ten minutes
  • ତ୍ରିଶ ମିନିଟ (trisha minita) - thirty minutes
  • ପାଞ୍ଚାଶତ୍ (panchasha) - fifty minutes

Telling Time[edit | edit source]

Now that we know how to express the hours and minutes in Odia, let's learn how to tell time by combining them. To tell time in Odia, simply say the hour followed by the minutes. For example, to say "1:30," you would say "ଏକ ଟା ତ୍ରିଶ ମିନିଟ" (eka ta trisha minita). Here are a few more examples:

  • ୯ ଟା ୧୫ ମିନିଟ (nau ta pana minita) - 9:15
  • ୪ ଟା ୩୦ ମିନିଟ (chara ta tri-sa minita) - 4:30
  • ୧୨ ଟା ୫୫ ମିନିଟ (baraha ta pancha-pachas minita) - 12:55

Remember to use the correct Odia numbers and the word "ଟା" (ta) for the hours, and the word "ମିନିଟ" (minita) for the minutes. Practice telling time in Odia with different hours and minutes to improve your skills.

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Odisha, the concept of time is deeply rooted in the state's culture and traditions. Punctuality is highly valued, and being on time for appointments and events is considered a sign of respect and professionalism. Odia people are known for their strong work ethic and commitment to meeting deadlines.

In addition to punctuality, the Odia language also has its unique way of expressing time. For example, instead of saying "half past" or "quarter past," Odia speakers commonly use the terms "ତ୍ରିଶ ମିନିଟ" (trisha minita) for "half past" and "ପାଞ୍ଚ ମିନିଟ" (pancha minita) for "quarter past." This reflects the cultural nuances of the language and adds a distinct flavor to the way time is expressed in Odia.
