In Slovenia, both 12-hour and 24-hour clocks are commonly used, but the 24-hour clock is more official and formal. For instance, train schedules, timetables, and business hours usually follow the 24-hour system. On the other hand, the 12-hour system is more casual, and it is suitable for everyday conversations or social events.

Telling Time in Slovenian

The Basics of Time

Before we delve into telling the time in Slovenian, let's review some basics of time. Time is usually expressed in hours, minutes, and seconds, and it is measured on a 12-hour or 24-hour clock.

In Slovenia, both 12-hour and 24-hour clocks are commonly used, but the 24-hour clock is more official and formal. For instance, train schedules, timetables, and business hours usually follow the 24-hour system. On the other hand, the 12-hour system is more casual, and it is suitable for everyday conversations or social events.

The 12-hour Clock

When using the 12-hour clock in Slovenian, we use the following formula:

Hour + Minute + PRED/PO (AM/PM)

To indicate the hour in the 12-hour system, we use the numbers from 1 to 12 followed by "ura" (hour). After the hour, we include the minutes in the form of "štiri petindvajset" (4:25) or "dvajset minut čez pet" (twenty past five). Finally, we use "pred" or "po" to indicate whether the time is before noon ("pred") or after noon ("po"). In English, we use "AM" for "pred" and "PM" for "po".

Here are some examples:

* 2:15 PM
Dve petnajst popoldne.

* 7:30 AM
Sedem trideset zjutraj.

* 11:45 PM
Enajst štiriinštirideset zvečer.

The 24-hour Clock

The 24-hour clock is commonly used in situations that require a more formal approach, such as public transportation, military, or business. In this system, we use numbers from 0 to 23 to indicate the hours, followed by the minutes.

Unlike the 12-hour system, the 24-clock system does not use "pred" or "po", as it is based on the 24-hour period.

Here are some examples:

* 14:15
Štirinajst petnajst.

* 7:30
Sedem trideset.

* 23:45
Triindvajset štiriinštirideset.

Exceptions

While the two systems above are mostly used in Slovenian, there are some exceptions to them. For instance, in everyday casual conversations, people may use different expressions to indicate the time. Here are some examples of these expressions:

* Čas je za kosilo. (It's time for lunch)

* Danes je ura leta 1980. (Today is the year 1980)

* Nocoj še dan, jutri še dan. (Today still day, tomorrow still day)

Asking for the Time

Now that you know how to tell time in Slovenian, let's practice some ways of asking for the time. Here are some examples of questions you can ask:

* Katera ura je? (What's the time?/What time is it?)

* Kaj je ura? (What's the hour?)

* Koliko je ura? (What's the time?/What time is it?)

Some Additional Vocabulary

Before we put our knowledge of telling time and asking for it into practice, let's take a look at some essential vocabulary related to time in Slovenian:

Slovenian Pronunciation English
Ura OOH-rah Hour/clock/watch
Minute Mee-NOO-tah Minute
Sekunda Suh-KOON-dah Second
Jutro YOO-troh Morning
Opoldne Oh-POHL-dneh Noon
Popoldne Poh-POHL-dneh Afternoon/evening
Večer VEH-chehr Evening
