==== Telling the Hour ====
== The Basic Concept of Telling Time ==
When we tell time, we use hours and minutes. The hours are represented by the numbers 1 to 12, with "am" indicating the time before midday, and "pm" indicating the time after midday.


In Romanian, we use the 12-hour clock system, just like in English. However, keep in mind that when telling time, we use the word "la" in Romanian, which means "at."
In Romanian, telling the hour is quite straightforward. You start with the word "ora" followed by the number. Here’s how to express the hours from 1 to 12:


== Vocabulary for Telling Time ==
{| class="wikitable"
Before we start practicing telling time, let's learn some useful words and phrases that we will use:


* ceas - clock/watch
! Romanian !! Pronunciation !! English
* ora - hour (singular)
* minute - minutes (plural)
* jumătate - half past (literally "half")
* fix - sharp (literally "exact" or "precise")
* acum - now
* dimineața - morning
* după-amiaza - afternoon
* seara - evening / night


== Telling Time on the Hour ==
|-
When telling time on the hour, we use the word "ora" followed by the number indicating the hour. We do not use any preposition before the hour.


* Este ora unu. - It is one o'clock.
| ora unu || /ˈo.ra ˈu.nu/ || one o'clock
* Este ora doi. - It is two o'clock.
* Este ora zece. - It is ten o'clock.


However, when it's noon or midnight we say:
|-


* Este ora douăsprezece (prânzul / noaptea). - It is twelve (noon/midnight).
| ora două || /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə/ || two o'clock


== Telling Time After the Hour ==
|-
When telling time after the hour, we use the word "la" followed by the number indicating the minutes.


* Este un sfert la două. - It is a quarter past one. ("Quarter to two")
| ora trei || /ˈo.ra ˈtrej/ || three o'clock
* Este zece minute la ora doi. - It is ten minutes past two.
* Este treizeci și cinci de minute la ora patru. - It is thirty-five minutes past four.


Note: When telling time in Romanian, it is common to also add "and" between the hours and minutes in cases such as "fifteen past two" and "twenty to three."
|-
 
| ora patru || /ˈo.ra ˈpa.tru/ || four o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora cinci || /ˈo.ra ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ || five o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora șase || /ˈo.ra ˈʃa.se/ || six o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora șapte || /ˈo.ra ˈʃap.te/ || seven o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora opt || /ˈo.ra ˈopt/ || eight o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora nouă || /ˈo.ra ˈno.ə/ || nine o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora zece || /ˈo.ra ˈze.t͡ʃe/ || ten o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora unsprezece || /ˈo.ra ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ || eleven o'clock
 
|-
 
| ora douăsprezece || /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə.s.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ || twelve o'clock
 
|}
 
==== Telling the Minutes ====
 
When it comes to minutes, Romanian uses a simple structure. You simply add the number of minutes after the hour. Here’s how it works:
 
* For minutes 1 to 29, you say "ora" followed by the hour and then the minutes. For example: "ora unu și zece" means "one ten" (1:10).
 
* For minutes after 30, you would express it as the next hour minus the minutes. For example: "ora două fără zece" means "two minus ten" (1:50).
 
Here’s a table with examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Romanian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| ora unu și cinci || /ˈo.ra ˈu.nu ʃi ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ || one o'clock and five minutes (1:05)
 
|-
 
| ora trei și douăzeci || /ˈo.ra ˈtrej ʃi ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ || three twenty (3:20)
 
|-
 
| ora patru și unsprezece || /ˈo.ra ˈpa.tru ʃi ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ || four eleven (4:11)
 
|-
 
| ora cinci și treizeci || /ˈo.ra ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ ʃi ˈtrei.ze.t͡ʃi/ || five thirty (5:30)
 
|-
 
| ora șase și două || /ˈo.ra ˈʃa.se ʃi ˈdo.ʊə/ || six two (6:02)
 
|-
 
| ora opt fără cinci || /ˈo.ra ˈopt ˈfə.rə ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ || five to eight (7:55)
 
|-
 
| ora nouă fără douăzeci || /ˈo.ra ˈno.ə ˈfə.rə ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ || twenty to nine (8:40)
 
|-
 
| ora zece fără unsprezece || /ˈo.ra ˈze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ || eleven to ten (9:49)
 
|-
 
| ora unsprezece fără cinci || /ˈo.ra ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ || five to eleven (10:55)
 
|-


== Telling Time Before the Hour ==
| ora douăsprezece fără douăzeci || /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə.s.pre.ze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ || twenty to twelve (11:40)
When telling time before the hour, we use "minus" or "la" followed by the number of minutes left until the next hour.


* Este minus zece minute până la patru. - It is ten minutes to four.
|}
* Este la un sfert până la trei. - It is a quarter to three.
* Este la două fix. - It is exactly two o'clock.

Welcome to our lesson on Telling Time in Romanian! Understanding how to tell time is an essential skill in any language, and it opens up a world of conversations and interactions. Imagine being able to ask someone what time it is or to tell them when to meet you for coffee! In this lesson, we will explore the vocabulary and phrases you need to confidently tell the time in Romanian.

We'll start with the basic vocabulary, including how to express hours and minutes. Then, we will present a variety of examples to illustrate these concepts. To solidify your knowledge, we’ll conclude with practical exercises and detailed solutions.

The Basics of Telling Time[edit | edit source]

Understanding how to tell time in Romanian involves learning specific vocabulary associated with hours and minutes. Romanian uses a 24-hour clock format, similar to many European languages. Let’s break this down step by step.

Key Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Here are some essential words and phrases that will help you get started:

Romanian Pronunciation English
ora /ˈo.ra/ hour
minute /miˈnu.te/ minute

la amiază /la aˈmi.a.zə/ at noon
după-amiaza /ˈdu.pə.a.mi.a.zə/ in the afternoon
seara /ˈse.a.ra/ in the evening
noaptea /ˈno.ap.te.a/ at night

Telling the Hour[edit | edit source]

In Romanian, telling the hour is quite straightforward. You start with the word "ora" followed by the number. Here’s how to express the hours from 1 to 12:

Romanian Pronunciation English
ora unu /ˈo.ra ˈu.nu/ one o'clock
ora două /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə/ two o'clock
ora trei /ˈo.ra ˈtrej/ three o'clock
ora patru /ˈo.ra ˈpa.tru/ four o'clock

ora șapte /ˈo.ra ˈʃap.te/ seven o'clock

ora douăsprezece /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə.s.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ twelve o'clock

Telling the Minutes[edit | edit source]

When it comes to minutes, Romanian uses a simple structure. You simply add the number of minutes after the hour. Here’s how it works:

  • For minutes 1 to 29, you say "ora" followed by the hour and then the minutes. For example: "ora unu și zece" means "one ten" (1:10).
  • For minutes after 30, you would express it as the next hour minus the minutes. For example: "ora două fără zece" means "two minus ten" (1:50).

Here’s a table with examples:

Romanian Pronunciation English
ora unu și cinci /ˈo.ra ˈu.nu ʃi ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ one o'clock and five minutes (1:05)
ora trei și douăzeci /ˈo.ra ˈtrej ʃi ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ three twenty (3:20)

ora opt fără cinci /ˈo.ra ˈopt ˈfə.rə ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ five to eight (7:55)
ora nouă fără douăzeci /ˈo.ra ˈno.ə ˈfə.rə ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ twenty to nine (8:40)
ora zece fără unsprezece /ˈo.ra ˈze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ eleven to ten (9:49)
ora unsprezece fără cinci /ˈo.ra ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ five to eleven (10:55)
