As a Hungarian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I can confidently say that telling time in Hungarian is relatively easy. In this lesson, we will learn the basics of telling time in Hungarian, including how to use the 24-hour clock and express time in different ways such as "half past" and "quarter to".
=== The Importance of Telling Time ===
 
Telling time is a fundamental skill in any language. In Hungarian, time expressions are not just about numbers; they also reflect cultural nuances and everyday interactions. Mastering this aspect of the language will help you blend in more naturally with native speakers and enhance your overall communication skills.


== What Time Is It? ==
=== Basic Vocabulary for Time ===
Before we dive into telling time in Hungarian, let's review the basic numbers from 1 to 60, which will be useful for telling time.


=== Basic Numbers ===
Before we dive into telling time, it's essential to learn some basic vocabulary related to time. Here are some foundational words you will frequently use:
When counting from 1 to 20, the numbers in Hungarian are:

=== The 24-Hour Clock ===
 
Hungarians primarily use the 24-hour clock format, which can be a bit different from the 12-hour format commonly used in English. For example, while 3 PM is expressed as 15:00 in the 24-hour clock, understanding this format is essential when reading schedules or timetables.
 
==== How to Read the 24-Hour Clock ====
 
Here’s how to convert some common hours from the 12-hour format to the 24-hour format:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! 12-Hour Format !! 24-Hour Format !! Hungarian
 
|-
 
| 1:00 AM || 01:00 || egy óra
 
|-
 
| 12:00 PM || 12:00 || tizenkét óra
 
|-
|-
| nyolc || "nyoltz" || eight
 
| 3:00 PM || 15:00 || tizenöt óra
 
|-
|-
| kilenc || "key-lentz" || nine
 
| 10:00 PM || 22:00 || huszonkét óra
 
|-
|-
| tíz || "tease" || ten
 
| 11:30 PM || 23:30 || huszonhárom óra harminc perc
 
|}
 
=== Expressing Time in Different Ways ===
 
In Hungarian, time can be expressed using various phrases. Here are some common expressions you’ll encounter:
 
* '''Half past''': "fél" + [hour] (e.g., "fél kettő" means "half past one").
 
* '''Quarter to''': "háromnegyed" + [hour] (e.g., "háromnegyed kettő" means "quarter to two").
 
* '''Quarter past''': "negyed" + [hour] (e.g., "negyed három" means "quarter past two").
 
Let's look at these expressions in more detail.
 
==== Half Past ====
 
When you say "half past" in Hungarian, you're indicating that it's halfway to the next hour. Here are some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Hungarian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
|-
| tizenegy || "tee-zen-edj" || eleven
 
| fél egy || 'feːl 'ɛɟ || half past twelve
 
|-
|-
| tizenkettő || "tee-zen-ket-toe" || twelve
 
| fél kettő || 'feːl 'kɛtːø || half past one
 
|-
|-
| tizenhárom || "tee-zen-ha-room" || thirteen
 
| fél három || 'feːl 'ha:rom || half past two
 
|-
|-
| tizennégy || "teen-négy" || fourteen
 
| fél négy || 'feːl 'neːɟ || half past three
 
|-
|-
| tizenöt || "tee-zen-öt" || fifteen
 
| fél öt || 'feːl 'øt || half past four
 
|}
 
==== Quarter To ====
 
This is when it is 15 minutes before the next hour. Here are some examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Hungarian !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
|-
| tizenhat || "tee-zen-hut" || sixteen
 
| háromnegyed egy || 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'ɛɟ || quarter to one
 
|-
|-
| tizenhét || "tee-zen-hayt" || seventeen
 
| háromnegyed kettő || 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'kɛtːø || quarter to two
 
|-
|-
| tizennyolc || "teen-nyoltz" || eighteen
 
| háromnegyed három || 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'ha:rom || quarter to three
 
|-
|-
| tizenkilenc || "tee-zen-key-lentz" || nineteen
 
| háromnegyed négy || 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'neːɟ || quarter to four
 
|-
|-
| húsz || "hoose" || twenty
 
| háromnegyed öt || 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'øt || quarter to five
 
|}
|}


When counting from 21 to 60, you will combine the numbers for "twenty" (húsz) and then add the appropriate number from 1 to 20. For example:  
==== Quarter Past ====
 
When it is 15 minutes past the hour, here’s how you express that:


* 21 = húszegy (hoose-edj)
{| class="wikitable"
* 22 = húszkettő (hoose-ket-toe)
* 32 = harminckettő (harmint-ket-toe)
* 59 = ötvenkilenc (ötven-key-lentz)


When telling time, we will use these basic numbers to express the hour and the minutes.
! Hungarian !! Pronunciation !! English


== The 24-Hour Clock ==
|-
In Hungary, the 24-hour clock is commonly used in everyday life. This means that instead of using "am" and "pm" like in English, we simply state the hour and minute in a 24-hour format. For example:


* 2:00 pm = 14:00 (tizen-négy óra)
| negyed egy || 'nɛɟɛd 'ɛɟ || quarter past twelve
* 11:30 pm = 23:30 (huszonhárom óra harminc perc)


Using the 24-hour clock may take some getting used to, but it can be helpful in avoiding confusion and making sure everyone is on the same page.
|-


== Expressing Time in Hungarian ==
| negyed kettő || 'nɛɟɛd 'kɛtːø || quarter past one
Let's practice telling time in Hungarian using the following examples:


|-
|-
|4:15 || Négy óra tizenöt perc (Ne-grye"oh-ra-tee-zen-öt-per-ts)
 
|-
| negyed három || 'nɛɟɛd 'ha:rom || quarter past two
|9:30 || Kilenc óra harminc perc (kee-lentz"oh-ra-har-mint-pert-ts)
 
|-
|1:45 || Tizenöt perc múlva kettő óra lesz (tee-zen-öt-per-ts-mool-va-ket-toe"oh-ra-les)
|-
|6:20 || Hatosztályú járat fél hetedkor indul (ha-toes"tah-joo-yah-rat-fayl-hay-ted-kor-in-dool)
|-
|-


As you can see in the examples above, we typically state the hour first, followed by the minute. When expressing time exactly on the hour, we can use the phrase "pontosan" to indicate that the time is precise, such as "hat órakor pontosan" (exactly at six o'clock).
| negyed négy || 'nɛɟɛd 'neːɟ || quarter past three


We can also express time in different ways, such as:
|-


=== Half Past ===
| negyed öt || 'nɛɟɛd 'øt || quarter past four
To say "half past," we use the phrase "fél" followed by the next hour. For example:


* 3:30 = három óra harminc perc után fél négy (ha-room"oh-ra-har-mint-perk-oo-tahn-fayl-neggy)
|}
* 5:30 = öt óra harminc perc múlva fél hatkor lesz (öt"oh-ra-har-mint-pert-ts-mool-va-fayl-hut-kor-les)
 
=== Practice Exercises ===
 
Now that you've learned the basics of telling time, let’s practice! Below are some exercises designed to help you apply what you’ve learned.


=== Quarter To/After ===
==== Exercise 1: Convert to 24-Hour Format ====
To express "quarter to" or "quarter after," we use the phrases "negyed" (quarter) and "tizen-öt" (fifteen). For example:


* 3:45 = három óra negyed (negyvenöt) (ha-room"oh-ra-neggy-edd-neggy-ven-öt)
Convert the following times from the 12-hour format to the 24-hour format:
* 4:45 = öt perccel negyed (negyvenöt) hat van (öt-per-tsel-neggy-edd-negy-ven-öt-hut-van)


=== Other Phrases ===
1. 2:00 PM
We can also use other phrases to express time. For example, "reggel" means "in the morning," "délben" means "at noon," and "este" means "in the evening".  


* 10:00 am = reggel tíz óra (re-ggel"tease"oh-ra)
2. 6:30 AM
* 2:00 pm = délután kettő óra (day-lutahn"ket-toe"oh-ra)
* 8:00 pm = este nyolc óra (es-te"nyoltz"oh-ra)


By practicing these different ways of expressing time, you will be able to navigate everyday situations more confidently and accurately.
3. 11:45 PM


== Conclusion ==
4. 4:15 PM
Congratulations, you have learned the basics of telling time in Hungarian! Remember to always start with the hour first, followed by the minute. Practice using the 24-hour clock, as well as expressing time in different ways such as "half past" and "quarter to/after". With practice, you'll be able to tell time like a pro in no time.

The Importance of Telling Time[edit | edit source]

Telling time is a fundamental skill in any language. In Hungarian, time expressions are not just about numbers; they also reflect cultural nuances and everyday interactions. Mastering this aspect of the language will help you blend in more naturally with native speakers and enhance your overall communication skills.

Basic Vocabulary for Time[edit | edit source]

Before we dive into telling time, it's essential to learn some basic vocabulary related to time. Here are some foundational words you will frequently use:

The 24-Hour Clock[edit | edit source]

Hungarians primarily use the 24-hour clock format, which can be a bit different from the 12-hour format commonly used in English. For example, while 3 PM is expressed as 15:00 in the 24-hour clock, understanding this format is essential when reading schedules or timetables.

How to Read the 24-Hour Clock[edit | edit source]

Here’s how to convert some common hours from the 12-hour format to the 24-hour format:

12-Hour Format 24-Hour Format Hungarian
1:00 AM 01:00 egy óra
12:00 PM 12:00 tizenkét óra
3:00 PM 15:00 tizenöt óra
10:00 PM 22:00 huszonkét óra
11:30 PM 23:30 huszonhárom óra harminc perc

Expressing Time in Different Ways[edit | edit source]

In Hungarian, time can be expressed using various phrases. Here are some common expressions you’ll encounter:

  • Half past: "fél" + [hour] (e.g., "fél kettő" means "half past one").
  • Quarter to: "háromnegyed" + [hour] (e.g., "háromnegyed kettő" means "quarter to two").
  • Quarter past: "negyed" + [hour] (e.g., "negyed három" means "quarter past two").

Let's look at these expressions in more detail.

Half Past[edit | edit source]

When you say "half past" in Hungarian, you're indicating that it's halfway to the next hour. Here are some examples:

Hungarian Pronunciation English
fél egy 'feːl 'ɛɟ half past twelve
fél kettő 'feːl 'kɛtːø half past one
fél három 'feːl 'ha:rom half past two
fél négy 'feːl 'neːɟ half past three
fél öt 'feːl 'øt half past four

Quarter To[edit | edit source]

This is when it is 15 minutes before the next hour. Here are some examples:

Hungarian Pronunciation English
háromnegyed egy 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'ɛɟ quarter to one
háromnegyed kettő 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'kɛtːø quarter to two
háromnegyed három 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'ha:rom quarter to three
háromnegyed négy 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'neːɟ quarter to four
háromnegyed öt 'ha:romnɛɟɛd 'øt quarter to five

Quarter Past[edit | edit source]

When it is 15 minutes past the hour, here’s how you express that:
