Time in Armenian
In Armenia 24 hour time is used in newspapers, on TV and in official papers and documents, but 12-hour time is used in spoken Armenian.
To start us off, the question “What time is it?” in Armenian is “Ժամը քանի՞սն է:”
If it is exactly on the hour, the answer can be:
Here are three examples:
- 3:00 Ժամը երեքն է։
- 5:00 Ժամը հինգն է։
- 11:00 Ժամը տասնմեկն է։
If it is past the hour, the word անց is used in the following manner:
- 2:15 Ժամը երկուսն անց տասնհինգ է։
- 4:30 Ժամը չորսն անց երեսուն (կես) է:
Very often the word ժամը - “the time” is omitted. Thus, people tend to read the time like this:
- 2:15 Երկուսն անց տասնհինգ է։
- 4:30 Չորսն անց երեսուն է։
If it is till the hour, the word պակաս is used in the following manner:
- 3:40 Ժամը չորսին քսան է պակաս։ OR Չորսին քսան է պակաս։
- 9:54 ժամը տասին վեց է պակաս։ OR Տասին վեց է պակաս։
