== Introduction ==
=== Vocabulary for Telling Time ===


In this lesson, we will learn how to tell time in Norwegian Bokmål using hours and minutes. Being able to tell time is an essential skill in any language, and it allows us to organize our daily activities and schedule appointments. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently express the time in Norwegian Bokmål and understand the time when it is spoken to you. So let's get started!
In Norwegian Bokmål, telling time involves a mix of numbers and specific terms. Before we jump into the phrases, let's start with some foundational vocabulary.


== The Basics ==
==== Basic Terms ====


Before we dive into telling time, let's review the numbers from 1 to 12 in Norwegian Bokmål. These numbers will be the foundation for expressing the hours on the clock.

Now that we have some basic vocabulary, let’s see how to combine these words to form complete sentences.
 
=== Telling Time in Norwegian Bokmål ===
 
To tell time in Norwegian, you typically start with the hour, followed by the minutes. Here’s how it works:
 
1. '''For the hour:''' Simply use the number of the hour followed by the word "klokken" (the clock).
 
2. '''For minutes:''' After stating the hour, you can add the minutes directly.
 
3. '''Special cases:''' If it’s exactly on the hour, just state the hour followed by "klokken".
 
4. '''For half-past:''' Use "halv" followed by the hour after the current hour.
 
5. '''For quarter past and to:''' Use "kvart" for quarter and "over" for past and "på" for to.
 
Let’s look at some examples:

== Telling the Hour ==
=== Asking About Time ===
 
It's also important to know how to ask someone for the time. You can use the following phrases:
 
{|
class="wikitable"
 
! Norwegian Bokmål !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| Hva er klokka? || [vɑ ɛr ˈklɔkɑ] || What time is it?
 
|-


To express the time in Norwegian Bokmål, we generally use the 24-hour clock system. However, the 12-hour clock system is also commonly used in everyday conversations. Let's start by learning how to tell the hour using both systems.
| Kan du si meg hva klokka er? || [kɑn dʊ siː mæɪ vɑ ˈklɔkɑ ɛr] || Can you tell me what time it is?


=== The 24-Hour Clock System ===
|}


In the 24-hour clock system, we simply state the hour followed by the word "timer" (hours). Here are a few examples:
Now that we’ve covered the basics of telling time, let’s put this knowledge into practice.


* 3 o'clock: "klokken tre"
=== Exercises ===
* 8 o'clock: "klokken åtte"
* 12 o'clock: "klokken tolv"


It's important to note that when the hour is between 0 and 9, we add a zero before the number. For example:
Here are some exercises to help you practice what you've learned. Try to answer the questions without looking at the examples first!


* 1 o'clock: "klokken 01"
1. How do you say "It is three o'clock" in Norwegian Bokmål?
* 9 o'clock: "klokken 09"


=== The 12-Hour Clock System ===
2. What is the Norwegian phrase for "What time is it?"


In the 12-hour clock system, we use the words "um" (in the morning), "formiddag" (in the morning), "ettermiddag" (in the afternoon), or "kveld" (in the evening) to indicate the time of day. Here are a few examples:
3. How would you say "It is a quarter past five"?


* 3 o'clock in the afternoon: "klokken tre om ettermiddagen"
4. Translate "It is twenty minutes to eight" into Norwegian.
* 8 o'clock in the morning: "klokken åtte om morgenen"
* 12 o'clock at night: "klokken tolv om natten"


In addition to using the time in words, it is also common to use numbers when telling the time in the 12-hour clock system. Here are a few examples:
5. If it's 2:30 in Norwegian, how would you express that?


* 3 o'clock in the afternoon: "klokken 3 på ettermiddagen"
6. Ask someone what time it is in Norwegian.
* 8 o'clock in the morning: "klokken 8 om morgenen"
* 12 o'clock at night: "klokken 12 om natten"


== Telling the Minutes ==
7. Write down how to say "It is ten minutes past four" in Norwegian.


Now that we know how to express the hour, let's move on to telling the minutes. In Norwegian Bokmål, we use the word "over" (past) to indicate the minutes that have already passed, and the word "på" (to) to indicate the minutes that are yet to come. Let's look at a few examples:
8. What does "halv" mean in the context of time?


* 10 minutes past 3: "ti over tre"
9. How would you say "It is fifteen minutes to two"?
* 20 minutes to 4: "ti på fire"
* 15 minutes past 8: "kvart over åtte"
* 30 minutes to 9: "halv ni"
* 45 minutes past 12: "kvart på ett"


In addition to using these expressions, it is also common to use numbers when telling the minutes. For example:
10. Translate "It is five minutes past seven" into Norwegian.


* 25 minutes past 2: "fem og tyve over to"
=== Solutions to Exercises ===
* 35 minutes to 7: "fem og tretti på sju"


== Practice Exercises ==
1. Klokka er tre.


Now it's time to practice what we've learned! Try to translate the following times into Norwegian Bokmål:
2. Hva er klokka?


1. 7:30 AM
3. Klokka er kvart over fem.
2. 1:45 PM
3. 6:20 PM
4. 9:10 AM
5. 11:55 PM


__Solutions:__
4. Klokka er tyve minutter på åtte.


1. 7:30 AM: "klokken halv åtte om morgenen"
5. Klokka er halv tre.
2. 1:45 PM: "klokken kvart på to om ettermiddagen"
3. 6:20 PM: "klokken tjue over seks om kvelden"
4. 9:10 AM: "klokken ti over ni om morgenen"
5. 11:55 PM: "klokken fem på tolv om natten"


I hope you found these exercises helpful! Remember to practice telling time in Norwegian Bokmål as often as possible to improve your skills.
6. Hva er klokka?


== Cultural Insights ==
7. Klokka er ti minutter over fire.


In Norwegian culture, punctuality is highly valued. Norwegians are known for their strict adherence to schedules and appointments. Being late is considered disrespectful and can leave a negative impression. Therefore, it's important to have a good grasp of telling time to ensure that you arrive on time for meetings, social gatherings, and other events.
8. "Halv" means half (past the hour).


Norway's proximity to the North Pole also influences the perception of time. In the summer months, the sun can stay above the horizon for 24 hours in certain regions of Norway, while in the winter, the days are shorter and darkness prevails. This unique natural phenomenon, known as the Midnight Sun and Polar Night, has a significant impact on how Norwegians experience time throughout the year.
9. Klokka er kvart på to.


== Conclusion ==
10. Klokka er fem minutter over syv.


Congratulations! You have successfully learned how to tell time in Norwegian Bokmål using hours and minutes. This is an important skill that will help you navigate daily life in Norway and communicate effectively with native speakers. Keep practicing and using these phrases in your conversations, and you'll soon become a master of telling time in Norwegian Bokmål.
Congratulations on completing this lesson on telling time! With these new skills, you can now confidently ask for and tell time in Norwegian Bokmål. Remember to keep practicing, and soon it will feel like second nature!
