To tell the time, we simply say the hour, followed by "buçuk" (half-past) or "geçiyor" (o'clock). For example:


'''''ern jeh kih'''''
- 1:00 = bir buçuk (one-thirty)
- 2:15 = iki on beş (two fifteen)
- 3:30 = üç otuz (three thirty)
- 4:45 = dört kırk beş (four forty-five)


'''''gewn'''''
Note that when the time is exactly on the hour, we can simply say the hour followed by "geçiyor" (o'clock). For example:
|'''<big>DÜNDEN</big>'''
'''<big>ÖNCEKİ</big>'''


'''<big>GÜN</big>'''
- 5:00 = beş geçiyor (five o'clock)
|'''''dynden'''''
- 6:00 = altı geçiyor (six o'clock)

Second - '''Saniye'''
To tell the time, we simply say the hour, followed by the minute. For example:
 
- 6:05 = altı beş (six five)
- 7:10 = yedi on (seven ten)
- 8:15 = sekiz on beş (eight fifteen)
- 9:20 = dokuz yirmi (nine twenty)
 
You can also use "buçuk" (half) to indicate that it is half past the hour. For example:
 
- 10:30 = on buçuk (ten thirty)
- 11:30 = on bir buçuk (eleven thirty)
 
If the minute is between 31 and 59, we use the word "geçiyor" (past) to indicate that it is that many minutes past the hour. For example:
 
- 2:45 = iki kırk beş geçiyor (two forty-five past)
- 3:50 = üç elli geçiyor (three fifty past)
 
=== Days of the Week ===

* Pazartesi - Monday
* Salı - Tuesday
* Çarşamba - Wednesday
* Perşembe - Thursday
* Cuma - Friday
* Cumartesi - Saturday
* Pazar - Sunday


Minute - '''Dakika'''

Time[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will learn how to tell the time in Turkish. We will also cover the days of the week and the months of the year. Being able to talk about time is an essential skill in any language, so let's get started!

Telling the Time[edit | edit source]

Telling the time in Turkish is quite straightforward. The format is generally the same as in English, with a few differences in pronunciation. Let's start with the basics:

Hours[edit | edit source]

To say the hours in Turkish, we use the cardinal numbers from one to twelve. Here are the Turkish numbers from one to twelve:

Turkish Pronunciation English Translation
bir beer one
iki ee-kee two
üç ooch three
dört dort four
beş besh five
altı al-tuh six
yedi yed-ee seven
sekiz se-keez eight
dokuz do-kooz nine
on on ten
on bir on beer eleven
on iki on ee-kee twelve

To tell the time, we simply say the hour, followed by "buçuk" (half-past) or "geçiyor" (o'clock). For example:

- 1:00 = bir buçuk (one-thirty) - 2:15 = iki on beş (two fifteen) - 3:30 = üç otuz (three thirty) - 4:45 = dört kırk beş (four forty-five)

Note that when the time is exactly on the hour, we can simply say the hour followed by "geçiyor" (o'clock). For example:

- 5:00 = beş geçiyor (five o'clock) - 6:00 = altı geçiyor (six o'clock)

Minutes[edit | edit source]

To talk about minutes, we use the cardinal numbers from one to fifty-nine. Here are the Turkish numbers from one to fifty-nine:

Turkish Pronunciation English Translation
bir beer one
iki ee-kee two
üç ooch three
dört dort four
beş besh five
altı al-tuh six
yedi yed-ee seven
sekiz se-keez eight
dokuz do-kooz nine
on on ten
on bir on beer eleven
on iki on ee-kee twelve
on üç on ooch thirteen
on dört on dort fourteen
on beş on besh fifteen
on altı on al-tuh sixteen
on yedi on yed-ee seventeen
on sekiz on se-keez eighteen
on dokuz on do-kooz nineteen
yirmi yer-mee twenty
yirmi bir yer-mee beer twenty-one
yirmi iki yer-mee ee-kee twenty-two

To tell the time, we simply say the hour, followed by the minute. For example:

- 6:05 = altı beş (six five) - 7:10 = yedi on (seven ten) - 8:15 = sekiz on beş (eight fifteen) - 9:20 = dokuz yirmi (nine twenty)

You can also use "buçuk" (half) to indicate that it is half past the hour. For example:

- 10:30 = on buçuk (ten thirty) - 11:30 = on bir buçuk (eleven thirty)

If the minute is between 31 and 59, we use the word "geçiyor" (past) to indicate that it is that many minutes past the hour. For example:

- 2:45 = iki kırk beş geçiyor (two forty-five past) - 3:50 = üç elli geçiyor (three fifty past)
