Introduction: In this lesson, we will learn how to ask and tell time in Hindi. Time is an essential aspect of communication and daily life, and being able to express and understand it in Hindi is crucial for effective communication. We will cover how to express hours, minutes, and phrases like morning, afternoon, evening, and night. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently ask for and tell time in Hindi.

Asking the Time[edit | edit source]

To ask someone for the time in Hindi, you can use the following phrases:

क्या समय हुआ है? (Kya samay hua hai?) - What is the time?
समय कितना हुआ है? (Samay kitna hua hai?) - What time is it?
घड़ी कितनी है? (Ghadi kitni hai?) - What is the hour?

It is important to note that in Hindi, the word for "time" is समय (samay) and the word for "hour" is घड़ी (ghadi). These phrases can be used in both formal and informal settings.

Telling the Time[edit | edit source]

When telling the time in Hindi, we use a combination of numbers and specific words. Let's break it down:

Hours[edit | edit source]

To express the hours in Hindi, we use the numbers 1 to 12. Here are the Hindi numbers from 1 to 12:

Hindi	Pronunciation	English
एक	ek	One
दो	do	Two
तीन	teen	Three
चार	chaar	Four
पांच	paanch	Five
छह	chhah	Six
सात	saat	Seven
आठ	aath	Eight
नौ	nau	Nine
दस	das	Ten
ग्यारह	gyarah	Eleven
बारह	baarah	Twelve

To tell the time, simply combine the appropriate number with the word बजे (baje), which means "o'clock." For example, to say "It is 3 o'clock," you would say तीन बजे हैं (teen baje hain).

Minutes[edit | edit source]

To express the minutes in Hindi, we use the numbers 1 to 59. Here are the Hindi numbers from 1 to 59:

Hindi	Pronunciation	English
एक	ek	One
दो	do	Two
तीन	teen	Three
चार	chaar	Four
पांच	paanch	Five
छह	chhah	Six
सात	saat	Seven
आठ	aath	Eight
नौ	nau	Nine
दस	das	Ten
ग्यारह	gyarah	Eleven
बारह	baarah	Twelve
तेरह	terah	Thirteen
चौदह	chaudah	Fourteen

चालीस	chalis	Forty
पैंतालीस	paintalis	Forty-five
छियालीस	chhiyaalis	Forty-six
सड़तालीस	sartalis	Forty-seven

पचपन	pachpan	Fifty-five
छप्पन	chhappan	Fifty-six
सतावन	sataavan	Fifty-seven
अठावन	athaavan	Fifty-eight
उनसठ	unsath	Fifty-nine

To tell the minutes, simply combine the appropriate number with the word मिनट (minute). For example, to say "It is 15 minutes past 3," you would say तीन बजे पंद्रह मिनट हैं (teen baje pandrah minute hain).

Phrases for Time of Day[edit | edit source]

In addition to specific hours and minutes, there are also phrases used to indicate different times of the day. Here are some common phrases:

सुबह (subah) - Morning
दोपहर (dopahar) - Afternoon
शाम (shaam) - Evening
रात (raat) - Night

These phrases can be combined with the specific hours and minutes to express the time more precisely. For example, दोपहर १२ बजे (dopahar 12 baje) means "12 o'clock in the afternoon."

Cultural Insights[edit | edit source]

In Hindi-speaking regions, the concept of time is often approached with a more relaxed and flexible attitude compared to Western cultures. Punctuality may not be as strictly observed, and there is a greater emphasis on the present moment rather than strict adherence to schedules. This cultural difference is important to keep in mind when communicating about time in Hindi.

Historically, the Hindu calendar has played a significant role in timekeeping in India. It follows a lunar cycle and is deeply intertwined with religious and cultural events. Many festivals and celebrations in India are based on the Hindu calendar, which adds to the richness and diversity of time-related customs and traditions in the country.

+== Asking the Time ==
+To ask someone for the time in Hindi, you can use the following phrases:
-In Hindi, we use a 12-hour clock system, just like in English. However, instead of using AM and PM to differentiate between morning and afternoon hours, we use the following time-related phrases:

+* समय कितना हुआ है? (Samay kitna hua hai?) - What time is it?
+* घड़ी कितनी है? (Ghadi kitni hai?) - What is the hour?

-- दोपहर (dopahar) - afternoon (around noon)
-- शाम (shaam) - evening (afternoon to dusk)
