==Introduction==

Time is an essential aspect of everyday life, and knowing how to ask and answer questions about the time is crucial for effective communication.

To begin with, let's familiarize ourselves with some essential vocabulary related to time in Marathi.


==Asking for Time==
{| class="wikitable"


Before we can learn how to tell time, we need to know how to ask for it. Here are a few ways to ask for the time:
! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English


*काय वेळ आहे? (kāy vēḷ āhe?) - What time is it?
|-
*आता किती वाजले आहेत? (ātā kitī vājle āhet?) - What time is it now?
*हीत वेळ काय झाली आहे? (hīt vēḷ kāy jhālī āhe?) - What was the time yesterday?


Notice that the first two questions are asking for the current time, while the last one is asking for the time in the past.
| वेळ !! veḷ !! time


==Telling Time==
|-


Marathi uses a mix of the 12-hour and 24-hour clock system to tell time. Let's start with the basics:
| तास !! tāsa !! hour


===12-hour clock system===
|-
 
| मिनिट !! miṇiṭ !! minute
 
|-
 
| सेकंद !! sekanda !! second
 
|-


Marathi uses the words वाजव / वाजले (vājav / vājle) to indicate hours when telling time in the 12-hour clock system. The numbers are pronounced the same as in Hindi, and the equivalent numerals are written in Devanagari script. Here are some examples:
| सकाळ !! sakāḷ !! morning
 
|-
 
| दुपारी !! dupārī !! afternoon
 
|-
 
| संध्याकाळी !! sandhyākāḷī !! evening
 
|-
 
| रात्री !! rātrī !! night
 
|-
 
| आता !! atā !! now
 
|-
 
| आधी !! ādhī !! before
 
|-
 
| नंतर !! nantar !! after
 
|-
 
| घड्याळ !! ghaḍyāḷ !! clock
 
|-
 
| पंधरा !! pandharā !! fifteen
 
|-
 
| अर्धा !! ardha !! half
 
|-
 
| पूर्ण !! pūrṇa !! full
 
|-
 
| एक !! eka !! one
 
|-
 
| दोन !! don !! two
 
|-
 
| तीन !! tīna !! three
 
|-
 
| चार !! chāra !! four
 
|-
 
| पाच !! pāca !! five
 
|-
 
| सहा !! sahā !! six
 
|}
 
=== How to Ask the Time ===
 
When you want to ask someone what time it is, you can use the following phrase:
 
* '''तुला किती वाजले?''' (Tulā kitī vājalē?) - What time is it?
 
This question can be followed by some variations, depending on the context. Here are a few examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| तुझ्या घड्याळात किती वाजले? !! tujhyā ghaḍyāḷāt kitī vājalē? !! What time is it on your clock?
 
|-
 
| मला वेळ सांग. !! malā veḷ sānga. !! Tell me the time.
 
|-
 
| आता किती वाजले आहे? !! atā kitī vājalē āhe? !! What time is it now?
 
|}
 
=== How to Answer the Time ===
 
When answering the question about time, you can use the following structure:
 
* '''सकाळचे [hour] वाजले.''' (Sakāḷcē [hour] vājalē.) - It is [hour] in the morning.
 
* '''दुपारी [hour] वाजले.''' (Dupārī [hour] vājalē.) - It is [hour] in the afternoon.
 
* '''संध्याकाळी [hour] वाजले.''' (Sandhyākāḷī [hour] vājalē.) - It is [hour] in the evening.
 
* '''रात्री [hour] वाजले.''' (Rātrī [hour] vājalē.) - It is [hour] at night.
 
Here are some examples illustrating how to respond:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
|-
|-
| दहा वाजले आहेत। || dahā vājle āhet. || It's ten o'clock.
 
| सकाळचे 7 वाजले. !! sakāḷcē 7 vājalē. !! It is 7 in the morning.
 
|-
|-
| बारा वाजले आहेत। || bārā vājle āhet. || It's twelve o'clock.
 
| दुपारी 3 वाजले. !! dupārī 3 vājalē. !! It is 3 in the afternoon.
 
|-
|-
| पंधरा वाजे झाले. || paṇḍharā vāje jhāle. || It's fifteen minutes past four.
 
| संध्याकाळी 6 वाजले. !! sandhyākāḷī 6 vājalē. !! It is 6 in the evening.
 
|-
|-
| दहा वाजता पून मिनिट बाकी आहेत. || dahā vājatā pūn minit bākī āhet. || It's ten minutes to two.
 
| रात्री 9 वाजले. !! rātrī 9 vājalē. !! It is 9 at night.
 
|}
|}


Note: When telling the time, the word वाजे (vāje) is used for minutes.
=== Using the 12-Hour and 24-Hour Formats ===
 
In Marathi, both 12-hour and 24-hour formats are used. Understanding both formats is essential, especially when reading schedules or timetables.
 
==== 12-Hour Format ====
 
In the 12-hour format, the hours are counted from 1 to 12, with AM and PM used to distinguish between morning and evening times.  
 
For example:


===24-hour clock system===
* '''11:00 AM''' - 11:00 सकाळ (11:00 sakāḷ)


In Marathi, the 24-hour clock system is used in formal settings, like schedules, timetables, and transportation. The 24-hour clock system is referred to as सैन्तिसिमिनिट (saintisiminut), which means the 24th minute.
* '''3:00 PM''' - 3:00 दुपारी (3:00 dupārī)


To indicate hours when using the 24-hour clock system, Marathi uses the words तास / तांस (tās / tāṃs) instead of वाजव / वाजले (vājav / vājle). Here are some examples:
==== 24-Hour Format ====
 
In the 24-hour format, the hours are counted from 0 to 23. This format is often used in official settings like train schedules, military time, and more.
 
For example:
 
* '''13:00''' - 13:00 (1:00 PM)
 
* '''22:30''' - 22:30 (10:30 PM)
 
Here’s a table comparing both formats:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Marathi !! Pronunciation !! English
 
! 12-Hour Format !! Marathi !! 24-Hour Format
 
|-
 
| 12:00 AM !! 12:00 रात्री (12:00 rātrī) !! 00:00
 
|-
 
| 1:00 AM !! 1:00 रात्री (1:00 rātrī) !! 01:00
 
|-
 
| 6:00 AM !! 6:00 सकाळ (6:00 sakāḷ) !! 06:00
 
|-
|-
| सकाळी अकरा तासाच्या वेळी || sakālī akarā tāsācyā vēḷī || At half-past nine in the morning.
 
| 12:00 PM !! 12:00 दुपारी (12:00 dupārī) !! 12:00
 
|-
|-
| तुमच्या टिकटात अगत्या नाऊ तांसाच्या वेळी चलूच आहोत. || tumacyā ṭikaṭāt agatyā nāū tāṃsācyā vēḷī calūc āhot. || The train will leave at nine thirty-nine on your ticket.
 
| 1:00 PM !! 1:00 दुपारी (1:00 dupārī) !! 13:00
 
|-
 
| 6:00 PM !! 6:00 संध्याकाळी (6:00 sandhyākāḷī) !! 18:00
 
|-
|-
| तिने संध्याकाळी आठ तासाच्या वेळी जागा केली आहे. || tinē sandhyākālī āṭh tāsācyā vēḷī jāgā kēlī āhē. || She woke up at 8' o clock in the evening.
 
| 12:00 AM !! 12:00 रात्री (12:00 rātrī) !! 24:00
 
|}
|}


As you can see, in the 24-hour clock system, times are pronounced using the hour followed by the word तास (tās) and the last two digits of the minutes.

In Marathi culture, timekeeping is a significant aspect of everyday life. Time is often measured differently in rural versus urban areas. In rural regions, time is usually determined by natural phenomena like sunrise, sunset, and the position of the sun. In contrast, urban areas follow a more standardized system of timekeeping using clocks and watches.
2. 5:30 AM


Additionally, it is essential to understand the context in which time is being communicated in Marathi. Marathi people tend to be more flexible with time schedules and punctuality, so it's not uncommon for meetings or social events to start late. However, in professional settings, such as meetings with clients or business partners, punctuality is crucial and arriving on time is expected.
3. 8:45 PM

We also discussed some cultural tidbits related to time in Marathi culture, such as the difference between timekeeping in rural and urban areas and the importance of punctuality in professional settings. With this knowledge, you can confidently communicate about the time and punctuality in Marathi-speaking regions.

2. 5:30 AM - 5:30 सकाळ (5:30 sakāḷ) आहे.

==== Exercise 10: Role Play ====

In Marathi, both 12-hour and 24-hour formats are used. Understanding both formats is essential, especially when reading schedules or timetables.

12-Hour Format[edit | edit source]

In the 12-hour format, the hours are counted from 1 to 12, with AM and PM used to distinguish between morning and evening times.

For example:

  • 11:00 AM - 11:00 सकाळ (11:00 sakāḷ)

24-Hour Format[edit | edit source]

In the 24-hour format, the hours are counted from 0 to 23. This format is often used in official settings like train schedules, military time, and more.

For example:

  • 13:00 - 13:00 (1:00 PM)

Here’s a table comparing both formats:

6:00 PM !! 6:00 संध्याकाळी (6:00 sandhyākāḷī) !! 18:00
