==Time in Mongolia==


<p>
| өмнө || önö || before
Mongolia, a landlocked country in East Asia, follows its own time zone called "Mongolia Standard Time," which is 8 hours ahead of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC+8). This means that if it is 12 PM in London, it is 8 PM in Mongolia. Mongolia does not observe daylight saving time.
</p>


<p>
|-
In Mongolia, traditional ways of timekeeping were based on the movements of the sun and moon. In the past, people used a 12-hour system to tell time, dividing the day into two six-hour periods, which corresponded to the position of the sun in the sky. The first six hours of the day were considered morning, and the second six hours were considered afternoon.
</p>


<p>
| дараа || daraa || after
Mongolian nomads relied on the sun and stars to navigate while traveling in the vast steppes. Even today, many Mongolians who live in rural areas still use the sun as a compass to determine their direction.
</p>


<p>
|}
The 24-hour clock is the standard system used in Mongolia nowadays, especially in urban areas. However, some older people still prefer to use the traditional 12-hour system.
</p>


==Telling Time==
=== Telling the Hour ===


<p>
In Halh Mongolian, telling the hour is quite straightforward. The structure generally follows this format: '''[number] цаг'''.  
Telling time in Halh Mongolian is relatively easy. Like in English, the hour is specified first, followed by the minutes. The words for "hour" and "minute" are "цаг" (tsag) and "минут" (minut), respectively. In Halh Mongolian, numbers are based on the decimal system, so counting from 1 to 10 should already be familiar to you if you have completed the previous lessons of this course.  
</p>


<p>
Here are some examples:
Example: "It is 9:30 AM" (time in the morning)
</p>


{| class="wikitable"

| 1 цаг || neg tsag || 1 o'clock
|-
|-
| Есөн  || Esön || Nine
 
| 2 цаг || khoyor tsag || 2 o'clock
 
|-
|-

| 6 цаг || zurag tsag || 6 o'clock
 
|-
|-

|-
 
| 11 цаг || arwan neg tsag || 11 o'clock
 
|-
 
| 12 цаг || arwan khoyor tsag || 12 o'clock
 
|}
|}


<p>
=== Telling the Minutes ===
Therefore, "It is 9:30 AM" is "Есөн нэгийн найм минут, үеийн цаг" (Esön negiin naim minut, üeiyn tsag) in Halh Mongolian.
 
</p>
When telling minutes, you can add the word '''минут''' after the number. For example, '''15 минут''' means 15 minutes. Here’s how to express minutes:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Halh Mongolian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
 
| 1 минут || neg minoot || 1 minute


<p>
|-
Note that the word for "hour" (цаг, tsag) in Halh Mongolian does not differentiate between AM and PM. To specify a period of the day, you need to use the words for "morning" (үеийн, üeiyin), "afternoon" (үдийн, üdiin), "evening" (оройн, oroin), or "night" (шөнө, shönö).
</p>


<p>
| 5 минут || tavan minoot || 5 minutes
Example: "It is 7:45 PM" (time in the evening)
 
</p>
|-
 
| 10 минут || ard minoot || 10 minutes
 
|-
 
| 15 минут || khonog minoot || 15 minutes
 
|-
 
| 20 минут || khoyor minoot || 20 minutes
 
|-
 
| 30 минут || guran minoot || 30 minutes
 
|-
 
| 45 минут || dakhin 45 minoot || 45 minutes
 
|-
 
| 60 минут || 60 minoot || 60 minutes
 
|}
 
=== Combining Hours and Minutes ===
 
To express a specific time, combine the hour and minute. The format is '''[hour] цаг [minutes] минут'''.
 
For example:
 
* 1:15 - '''1 цаг 15 минут''' (neg tsag khonog minoot)
 
* 2:30 - '''2 цаг 30 минут''' (khoyor tsag guran minoot)
 
* 3:45 - '''3 цаг 45 минут''' (gurvan tsag dakhin 45 minoot)
 
Let's look at more examples:

| 10 цаг 00 минут || arwan tsag 00 minoot || 10:00

=== Parts of the Day ===
 
In addition to telling the exact time, it's also important to know the different parts of the day in Halh Mongolian. Here’s a brief overview:
 
* '''Өглөө (öglöö)''' - morning
 
* '''Өдөр (ödör)''' - day
 
* '''Орой (oroi)''' - evening
 
* '''Шөнө (shönö)''' - night
 
You can use these terms to express when an event occurs. For instance:
 
* '''Өглөө 8 цаг (öglöö 8 tsag)''' - 8 o'clock in the morning
 
* '''Өдөр 2 цаг (ödör 2 tsag)''' - 2 o'clock in the afternoon
 
* '''Орой 6 цаг (oroi 6 tsag)''' - 6 o'clock in the evening
 
* '''Шөнө 11 цаг (shönö 11 tsag)''' - 11 o'clock at night
 
=== Using Parts of the Day in Sentences ===
 
Here are some examples of how to incorporate these terms into sentences:
