=== 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:
 
* '''11:00 AM''' - 11:00 सकाळ (11:00 sakāḷ)
 
* '''3:00 PM''' - 3:00 दुपारी (3:00 dupārī)
 
==== 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"
 
! 12-Hour Format !! Marathi !! 24-Hour Format
 
|-
|-
| सहा || sahā || Six
 
| 12:00 AM !! 12:00 रात्री (12:00 rātrī) !! 00:00
 
|-
|-
| सात || sāta || Seven
 
| 1:00 AM !! 1:00 रात्री (1:00 rātrī) !! 01:00
 
|-
|-
| आठ || āṭha || Eight
 
| 6:00 AM !! 6:00 सकाळ (6:00 sakāḷ) !! 06:00
 
|-
|-
| नऊ || nau || Nine
 
| 12:00 PM !! 12:00 दुपारी (12:00 dupārī) !! 12:00
 
|-
|-
| दहा || dahā || Ten
 
| 1:00 PM !! 1:00 दुपारी (1:00 dupārī) !! 13:00
 
|-
|-
| अकरा || akarā || Eleven
 
| 6:00 PM !! 6:00 संध्याकाळी (6:00 sandhyākāḷī) !! 18:00
 
|-
|-
| बारा || bārā || Twelve
 
| 12:00 AM !! 12:00 रात्री (12:00 rātrī) !! 24:00
 
|}
|}


Please note that the words for one to twelve are unique in Marathi and do not follow a specific pattern. It is important to memorize them to effectively tell the time.

2. तास (tāsa)
 
3. सकाळ (sakāḷ)
 
4. रात्री (rātrī)


==== Minutes (मिनिट) ====
==== Exercise 5: Match the Time in Marathi ====


The word for "minute" in Marathi is मिनिट (minit). To express minutes in Marathi, we simply state the number of minutes after the hour. For example:
Match the following times in English with their Marathi equivalents:


- एक वाजल्यानंतर पंधरा मिनिट झाले. (ēka vājalyānatar paṇḍharā minit jhālē.) - It is 15 minutes past one.
1. 1:00 PM
- बारा वाजल्यानंतर पाच मिनिट झाले. (bārā vājalyānatar pāca minit jhālē.) - It is 5 minutes past twelve.


Remember to use the singular form of the word मिनिट (minit) when expressing minutes.
2. 6:30 AM


==== AM/PM (पूर्वाह्न/उत्तराह्न) ====
3. 10:15 PM


To indicate whether it is morning or afternoon/evening, Marathi uses the terms पूर्वाह्न (pūrvāhṇ) for AM (morning) and उत्तराह्न (uttarāhṇ) for PM (afternoon/evening). Here are a few examples:
4. 3:45 PM


- दोपहरी १२ वाजल्यानंतर उत्तराह्न आहे. (dōpahrī 12 vājalyānatar uttarāhṇ āhē.) - It is afternoon/evening after 12 o'clock.
''Solutions:''
- सकाळी आठ वाजल्यानंतर पूर्वाह्न आहे. (sakāḷī āṭha vājalyānatar pūrvāhṇ āhē.) - It is morning after 8 o'clock.


By combining the hours, minutes, and AM/PM components, you can now tell time in the 12-hour format in Marathi.
1. 1:00 PM - 1:00 दुपारी (1:00 dupārī)


=== The 24-Hour Format ===
2. 6:30 AM - 6:30 सकाळ (6:30 sakāḷ)


While the 12-hour format is more commonly used in everyday conversations, it is also important to be familiar with the 24-hour format in Marathi. The 24-hour format eliminates the need for AM/PM indicators and simplifies time expressions. To convert the 12-hour format to the 24-hour format, simply add 12 to the hours for PM times. Here are a few examples:
3. 10:15 PM - 10:15 रात्री (10:15 rātrī)


- दोपहरी १२ वाजल्यानंतर १२ वाजे आहे. (dōpahrī 12 vājalyānatar 12 vājē āhē.) - It is 12 o'clock after 12 PM.
4. 3:45 PM - 3:45 दुपारी (3:45 dupārī)
- सकाळी ८ वाजल्यानंतर २० वाजे आहे. (sakāḷī 8 vājalyānatar 20 vājē āhē.) - It is 20 o'clock after 8 AM.


By understanding both the 12-hour and 24-hour formats, you will be able to communicate time effectively in various contexts.
==== Exercise 6: Create Your Own Questions ====


== Cultural Insights ==
Write down 3 questions you might ask someone about the time in Marathi.


Telling time in Marathi is not just about language; it is also influenced by cultural practices and regional variations. In Maharashtra, the state where Marathi is primarily spoken, punctuality is highly valued. Being on time for appointments and social gatherings is considered a sign of respect and courtesy. It is common for people to arrive a few minutes early to show their commitment and dedication.
''Example Solutions:''


Additionally, it is important to note that Marathi follows the Indian Standard Time (IST), which is 5 hours and 30 minutes ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+5:30). This means that when scheduling appointments or making plans, you should take the time difference into account to avoid confusion.
1. तुला किती वाजले?


== Exercises ==
2. मला वेळ सांग.


Now it's time to practice what you've learned! Complete the following exercises to reinforce your understanding of telling time in Marathi.

Using the 12-Hour and 24-Hour Formats[edit | edit source]

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)
  • 3:00 PM - 3:00 दुपारी (3:00 dupārī)

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)
  • 22:30 - 22:30 (10:30 PM)

Here’s a table comparing both formats:

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
12:00 PM !! 12:00 दुपारी (12:00 dupārī) !! 12:00
1:00 PM !! 1:00 दुपारी (1:00 dupārī) !! 13:00
6:00 PM !! 6:00 संध्याकाळी (6:00 sandhyākāḷī) !! 18:00
12:00 AM !! 12:00 रात्री (12:00 rātrī) !! 24:00
