To start our journey, let’s familiarize ourselves with some essential vocabulary related to time. Knowing these words will give you a solid foundation for telling time in Faroese. | |||

=== Telling Hours === | |||
In Faroese, telling the hour is quite straightforward. You simply state the hour using the word "klokkan" (the clock) followed by the hour. | |||
For example: | |||
* Klokkan er eitt. (The clock is one.) | |||
* Klokkan er tvey. (The clock is two.) | |||
Here’s a table of how to express the hours: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||

|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| klokkan er eitt || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈɛit || The clock is one. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| klokkan er tvey || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtveɪ || The clock is two. | |||
|- | |- | ||

|- | |||
| klokkan er tveyti || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtʊɛɪti || The clock is ten. | |||
|} | |} | ||
=== Telling Minutes === | |||
Once you’re comfortable with the hours, it’s time to add minutes. In Faroese, you can express minutes by stating the hour followed by the minutes. | |||
For example: | |||
* Klokkan er eitt og fimm. (The clock is one and five.) | |||
* Klokkan er tvey og tíggju. (The clock is two and ten.) | |||
Here’s a table to demonstrate how to tell minutes: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | {| class="wikitable" | ||

|- | |||
| klokkan er eitt og fimm || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈɛit ɔɡ ˈfɪm || The clock is one and five. | |||
|- | |||
| klokkan er tvey og tíggju || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtveɪ ɔɡ ˈtiɡːju || The clock is two and ten. | |||
|- | |||
| klokkan er tríggjar og tveir || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtriɡɪr ɔɡ ˈtʊɛɪr || The clock is three and two. | |||
|- | |||
| klokkan er fjórð og fýra || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfjɔːrð ɔɡ ˈfyːra || The clock is four and four. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| klokkan er fimm og seks || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfɪm ɔɡ ˈsɛks || The clock is five and six. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| klokkan er seks og sjey || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈsɛks ɔɡ ˈʃei || The clock is six and seven. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| klokkan er sjey og átta || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈʃei ɔɡ ˈɔtːa || The clock is seven and eight. | |||

|- | |||
| klokkan er níggju og tveyti || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈniːɡʊ ɔɡ ˈtʊɛɪti || The clock is nine and ten. | |||
|- | |||
| klokkan er tveyti og eitt || ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtʊɛɪti ɔɡ ˈɛit || The clock is ten and one. | |||
|} | |} | ||
=== Telling Time with "To" and "Past" === | |||
In some cases, you may want to express the minutes in relation to the next hour. In Faroese, this is done by using "færri" (to) for minutes before the hour and "yvir" (past) for minutes after the hour. | |||
For example: | |||
* Klokkan er fimm minuttir yvir eitt. (The clock is five minutes past one.) | |||
* Klokkan er tíggju minuttir til tvey. (The clock is ten minutes to two.) | |||
Here’s how to express this: | |||

Let's dive right in!
Basic Vocabulary for Time[edit | edit source]
To start our journey, let’s familiarize ourselves with some essential vocabulary related to time. Knowing these words will give you a solid foundation for telling time in Faroese.

í gjár | iː ˈjɑːr | yesterday |
Telling Hours[edit | edit source]
In Faroese, telling the hour is quite straightforward. You simply state the hour using the word "klokkan" (the clock) followed by the hour.
For example:
- Klokkan er eitt. (The clock is one.)
- Klokkan er tvey. (The clock is two.)
Here’s a table of how to express the hours:
Faroese | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
klokkan er eitt | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈɛit | The clock is one. |
klokkan er tvey | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtveɪ | The clock is two. |
klokkan er tríggjar | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtriɡɪr | The clock is three. |
klokkan er fjórð | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfjɔːrð | The clock is four. |
klokkan er fimm | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfɪm | The clock is five. |
klokkan er seks | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈsɛks | The clock is six. |
klokkan er sjey | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈʃei | The clock is seven. |
klokkan er átta | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈɔtːa | The clock is eight. |
klokkan er níggju | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈniːɡʊ | The clock is nine. |
klokkan er tveyti | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtʊɛɪti | The clock is ten. |
Telling Minutes[edit | edit source]
Once you’re comfortable with the hours, it’s time to add minutes. In Faroese, you can express minutes by stating the hour followed by the minutes.
For example:
- Klokkan er eitt og fimm. (The clock is one and five.)
- Klokkan er tvey og tíggju. (The clock is two and ten.)
Here’s a table to demonstrate how to tell minutes:
Faroese | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
klokkan er eitt og fimm | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈɛit ɔɡ ˈfɪm | The clock is one and five. |
klokkan er tvey og tíggju | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtveɪ ɔɡ ˈtiɡːju | The clock is two and ten. |
klokkan er tríggjar og tveir | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtriɡɪr ɔɡ ˈtʊɛɪr | The clock is three and two. |
klokkan er fjórð og fýra | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfjɔːrð ɔɡ ˈfyːra | The clock is four and four. |
klokkan er fimm og seks | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfɪm ɔɡ ˈsɛks | The clock is five and six. |
klokkan er seks og sjey | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈsɛks ɔɡ ˈʃei | The clock is six and seven. |
klokkan er sjey og átta | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈʃei ɔɡ ˈɔtːa | The clock is seven and eight. |
klokkan er átta og níggju | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈɔtːa ɔɡ ˈniːɡʊ | The clock is eight and nine. |
klokkan er níggju og tveyti | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈniːɡʊ ɔɡ ˈtʊɛɪti | The clock is nine and ten. |
klokkan er tveyti og eitt | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtʊɛɪti ɔɡ ˈɛit | The clock is ten and one. |
Telling Time with "To" and "Past"[edit | edit source]
In some cases, you may want to express the minutes in relation to the next hour. In Faroese, this is done by using "færri" (to) for minutes before the hour and "yvir" (past) for minutes after the hour.
For example:
- Klokkan er fimm minuttir yvir eitt. (The clock is five minutes past one.)
- Klokkan er tíggju minuttir til tvey. (The clock is ten minutes to two.)
Here’s how to express this:
Faroese | Pronunciation | English |
---|---|---|
klokkan er fimm minuttir yvir eitt | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfɪm ˈmiːnʊtːɪr ˈiːʋɛr ˈɛit | The clock is five minutes past one. |
klokkan er tíggju minuttir til tvey | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtiɡːju ˈmiːnʊtːɪr ˈtiːl ˈtveɪ | The clock is ten minutes to two. |
klokkan er trý minuttir yvir tríggjar | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtrʏː ˈmiːnʊtːɪr ˈiːʋɛr ˈtriɡɪr | The clock is three minutes past three. |
klokkan er fýra minuttir til fjórð | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈfyːra ˈmiːnʊtːɪr ˈtiːl ˈfjɔːrð | The clock is four minutes to four. |
klokkan er tvey minuttir yvir fimm | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈtʊɛɪ ˈmiːnʊtːɪr ˈiːʋɛr ˈfɪm | The clock is two minutes past five. |
klokkan er sjey minuttir til seks | ˈklɔkkan ɛr ˈʃei ˈmiːnʊtːɪr ˈtiːl ˈsɛks | The clock is seven minutes to six. |

Now that we have a good grasp of telling time, let’s discuss the different parts of the day. In Faroese, you might refer to these parts in your conversations.

---|---|---|
morgun | ˈmɔrɡʊn | morning |
middag | ˈmɪtːaɡ | noon |
