Telling time is an essential aspect of daily life, and it's crucial to be able to tell the time in the language you're learning. Mastering how to read and express the time enables you to communicate effectively during appointments and meetings, catch a train or a bus, meet friends, or plan lunchtime.
 
In this article, you will learn how to tell time, how to express the hour, minutes, and seconds, and how to use Frisian vocabulary related to time.


In this lesson, we will delve into the topic of telling time in Western Frisian. Being able to express the time is an essential skill in any language, and it allows us to communicate effectively and navigate our daily lives.

== The Basics: Hours ==
==Telling Time in Frisian==


Telling the time in Frisian is relatively simple once you get the hang of it. To read the time aloud, you need to follow three basic rules:
To express the hours in Western Frisian, we use the 24-hour clock system. This means that instead of using the AM and PM system, we simply count the hours from 0 to 24. Here are the numbers from 0 to 24 in Western Frisian:
 
<i>First rule:</i> Hours from 1 to 12 are expressed using the ordinal numbers (eerste, twadde, tredde, fjirde, fyfde, seisde, sânde, achtste, njoggende, tsjienste, alve, tolve).
 
<i>Second rule:</i> To express the minutes, use the cardinal number representing the minute time value. In Frisian, there is no "o'clock." Instead, "precies" or "krekt" meaning "exactly" is used.
 
<i>Third rule:</i> Add "oere" which means "hours" and "minuten" which means "minutes" to the end of the sentence to indicate that you're talking about time.
Take a look at the table below to get an overview of how to tell time in Frisian.

The Frisian language uses both 24-hour and 12-hour clocks. Be aware that when using the 12-hour clock, the clock hands distinguish between the morning hours (AM) and the afternoon/evening hours (PM).
Now that we know the numbers from 0 to 24, we can use them to express different hours of the day. Here are a few examples:


===Expressions for AM and PM===
* It is 8 o'clock.
It is "acht oere."


In Frisian, to distinguish between the morning and afternoon/evening, clocks use AM and PM, which are translated into "moarns" (morning) and "jûns" (evening).
* It is 13:30 (1:30 PM).
It is "trettjin oere tritich" or "ien-en-trettich oere."


To indicate if you are talking about the morning, add "moarns" at the end of your phrase. To indicate you are talking about the afternoon/evening hours, add "jûns." When using the 24-hour clock, the "jûns" is not needed.
* It is 20:15 (8:15 PM).
It is "twintich oere fyftjin" or "acht-en-fyftjin oere."


Take a look at the table below for more clarity.
* It is 24:00 (midnight).
It is "tweintich oere nul" or "midsnacht."
 
== Minutes and Seconds ==
 
In addition to expressing the hours, we also need to learn how to express the minutes and seconds in Western Frisian. Here are the numbers from 1 to 60 to help us with that:

===The Word 'Precies'===
To express the minutes, we simply combine the numbers from 1 to 60 with the word "minuten" (minutes). Here are a few examples:
 
* It is 8:05 AM.
It is "acht oere fiif minuten."
 
* It is 13:20 (1:20 PM).
It is "trettjin oere tweintich minuten" or "ien-en-tweintich oere."
 
* It is 20:45 (8:45 PM).
It is "twintich oere fyftich fiif minuten" or "acht-en-fyftich fiif minuten."
 
* It is 24:59.
It is "tweintich oere njoggen-en-fjirtich minuten" or "tolve-en-een-en-vijftig minuten."


When we read a clock, "precies" (exactly) or "krekt" (precisely) indicate the exact minute or time. We use this word to emphasize that the time we are saying is precise and accurate.
To express the seconds, we follow the same pattern and use the numbers from 1 to 60 with the word "sekonden" (seconds). Here are a few examples:


Take a look at some examples:
* It is 8:05:10 AM.
It is "acht oere fiif minuten tsien sekonden."


* It is trije oere precies (It is exactly three o'clock)
* It is 13:20:30 (1:20:30 PM).
* It is acht oere krekt (It is exactly eight o'clock)
It is "trettjin oere tweintich minuten tritich sekonden" or "ien-en-tweintich oere."


===Using 'Foar' and 'Oer'===
* It is 20:45:59 (8:45:59 PM).
It is "twintich oere fyftich fiif minuten njoggen-en-fjirtich sekonden" or "acht-en-fyftich fiif-en-vijftig sekonden."


To say the time in the future or past, we use "foar" and "oer."  
* It is 24:59:59.
It is "tweintich oere njoggen-en-fjirtich minuten njoggen-en-vijftig sekonden" or "tolve-en-een-en-vijftig-en-negen-en-vijftig sekonden."


The word "foar" means "to" or "before." We use "foar" when the minute hand is pointing to quarter to, ten to, or five to the hour.
== Cultural Insight ==
The word "oer" means "after." We use "oer" when the minute hand is pointing to five past, ten past, quarter past, twenty past, twenty-five past, half-past, twenty-five to, twenty to, ten to, or quarter to the hour.


Take a look at some examples:
In Western Frisian culture, punctuality is highly valued. It is important to be on time for appointments, meetings, and social gatherings. Being late is often seen as a sign of disrespect. Therefore, having a good understanding of how to tell time in Western Frisian will help you navigate social situations and show respect to others.


* Kwart oer fjouwer (quarter past three)
Additionally, it's worth noting that the Western Frisian language has been influenced by its geographical location and historical context. The region of Friesland, where Western Frisian is spoken, has a rich maritime history. This means that many Western Frisian words and expressions related to time have nautical origins. For example, the word for "clock" in Western Frisian is "klok," which is derived from the Dutch word for "bell" or "ship's bell."
* Twa oere foar fyftjin (two o'clock and fifteen minutes to - 1.45 PM)
* Seis oere oer tsien (six o'clock and ten minutes past - 10.10 PM)

Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, we will delve into the topic of telling time in Western Frisian. Being able to express the time is an essential skill in any language, and it allows us to communicate effectively and navigate our daily lives. By the end of this lesson, you will have a solid understanding of how to tell time in Western Frisian, including how to express hours, minutes, and seconds. Let's get started!

The Basics: Hours[edit | edit source]

To express the hours in Western Frisian, we use the 24-hour clock system. This means that instead of using the AM and PM system, we simply count the hours from 0 to 24. Here are the numbers from 0 to 24 in Western Frisian:

Western Frisian Pronunciation English
nul [nul] zero
ien [in] one
twa [twa] two
trije [triə] three
fjouwer [fjʌwər] four
fiif [fiːf] five
seis [sɛis] six
sân [san] seven
acht [ɑxt] eight
njoggen [njoɣən] nine
tsien [tsiːən] ten
alve [ɑlvə] eleven

tweintich [tweintəx] twenty
ienentweintich [inəntweintəx] twenty-one
tweintich en twa [tweintəx ən twa] twenty-two
tweintich en trije [tweintəx ən triə] twenty-three
tweintich en fjouwer [tweintəx ən fjʌwər] twenty-four

Now that we know the numbers from 0 to 24, we can use them to express different hours of the day. Here are a few examples:

  • It is 8 o'clock.

It is "acht oere."

  • It is 13:30 (1:30 PM).

It is "trettjin oere tritich" or "ien-en-trettich oere."

  • It is 20:15 (8:15 PM).

It is "twintich oere fyftjin" or "acht-en-fyftjin oere."

  • It is 24:00 (midnight).

It is "tweintich oere nul" or "midsnacht."

Minutes and Seconds[edit | edit source]

In addition to expressing the hours, we also need to learn how to express the minutes and seconds in Western Frisian. Here are the numbers from 1 to 60 to help us with that:

Western Frisian Pronunciation English
ien [in] one
twa [twa] two

alve [ɑlvə] eleven
tolve [tɔlvə] twelve
trettjin [trɛtːjin] thirteen
fjirtjin [fjɪrtːjin] fourteen
fyftjin [fɪftːjin] fifteen
sechtjin [sɛxtːjin] sixteen
santjin [santːjin] seventeen
achttjin [ɑxttːjin] eighteen

tweintich [tweintəx] twenty
tweintich ien [tweintəx in] twenty-one
tweintich twa [tweintəx twa] twenty-two
tweintich trije [tweintəx triə] twenty-three
tweintich fjouwer [tweintəx fjʌwər] twenty-four
tweintich fiif [tweintəx fiːf] twenty-five
tweintich seis [tweintəx sɛis] twenty-six
tweintich sân [tweintəx san] twenty-seven
tweintich acht [tweintəx ɑxt] twenty-eight
tweintich njoggen [tweintəx njoɣən] twenty-nine
tritich [tritːix] thirty
fjirtich [fjɪrtːix] forty
fyftich [fɪftːix] fifty
seisich [sɛisix] sixty

To express the minutes, we simply combine the numbers from 1 to 60 with the word "minuten" (minutes). Here are a few examples:

  • It is 8:05 AM.

It is "acht oere fiif minuten."

  • It is 13:20 (1:20 PM).

It is "trettjin oere tweintich minuten" or "ien-en-tweintich oere."

It is "twintich oere fyftich fiif minuten" or "acht-en-fyftich fiif minuten."

  • It is 24:59.

It is "tweintich oere njoggen-en-fjirtich minuten" or "tolve-en-een-en-vijftig minuten."

To express the seconds, we follow the same pattern and use the numbers from 1 to 60 with the word "sekonden" (seconds). Here are a few examples:

  • It is 8:05:10 AM.

It is "acht oere fiif minuten tsien sekonden."

  • It is 13:20:30 (1:20:30 PM).

It is "trettjin oere tweintich minuten tritich sekonden" or "ien-en-tweintich oere."

  • It is 20:45:59 (8:45:59 PM).

It is "twintich oere fyftich fiif minuten njoggen-en-fjirtich sekonden" or "acht-en-fyftich fiif-en-vijftig sekonden."

  • It is 24:59:59.

It is "tweintich oere njoggen-en-fjirtich minuten njoggen-en-vijftig sekonden" or "tolve-en-een-en-vijftig-en-negen-en-vijftig sekonden."
