To tell the time in Tosk Albanian, we use the following phrase:
| Tosk Albanian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Sa o'clock është? | sa o'clock ersh-te? | What time is it? |
The answer to this question can be expressed in different ways depending on the context. Here are some examples:
| Tosk Albanian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| Është ora gjashtë. | ersh-te ora gjash-të | It's six o'clock. |
| Janë tre e dhjetë. | ya-ne tre e dhja-te | It's ten past three. |
| Janë njëmbëdhjetë e dyzetë pesë. | ya-ne njem-be-dhje-te e dze-te pes | It's twenty-five to twelve. |
To give more precision, Tosk Albanian uses the words “çerek” which means quarter, and “dhjetë” which means ten.
| Tosk Albanian | Pronunciation | English |
|---|---|---|
| janë pesë çerek e dy. | ya-ne pe-se cheer-ek e dy | It's two forty-five. |
