Basic Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Before we dive into the structure of telling time, let’s familiarize ourselves with some important vocabulary related to time.

Yoruba	Pronunciation	English
Wákàtí	/wákàtí/	Hour
Iṣẹ́jú	/iʃɛ́dʒu/	Minute
Ọjọ́	/ɔ́dʒɔ́/	Day
Ọsẹ̀	/ɔ́ʃɛ̀/	Week
Oṣù	/ɔ́ʃu/	Month
ọdún	/ɔ́dún/	Year

Understanding these words will lay the foundation for telling time.

Structure of Telling Time[edit | edit source]

In Yoruba, telling time involves a straightforward structure that combines the hour and minute. Here’s how it works:

1. Hours: The hour is expressed first, followed by the word "wákàtí" (hour).

2. Minutes: Then, the minutes are added, followed by the word "iṣẹ́jú" (minute).

For example, if it is 3:15, you would say "Mẹta wákàtí, mẹ́tàdínlógún iṣẹ́jú," which translates to "Three o'clock, fifteen minutes."

Let’s look at some examples:

Yoruba	Pronunciation	English
1:00	/íjè wákàtí/	One o'clock
2:30	/méjì wákàtí, mẹ́tàdínlógún iṣẹ́jú/	Two thirty
4:15	/mẹ́rin wákàtí, mẹ́tàdínlógún iṣẹ́jú/	Four fifteen
7:45	/méje wákàtí, mẹ́rinlógún iṣẹ́jú/	Seven forty-five
8:05	/méjì wákàtí, márùn-ún iṣẹ́jú/	Eight five
10:10	/mẹ́wàá wákàtí, mẹ́wàá iṣẹ́jú/	Ten ten
12:00	/méjìlélọ́gọ́rin wákàtí/	Twelve o'clock
6:20	/mẹ́fà wákàtí, mẹ́rindínlógún iṣẹ́jú/	Six twenty
5:00	/márùn-ún wákàtí/	Five o'clock
11:55	/mẹ́wàá wákàtí, márùn-ún iṣẹ́jú/	Eleven fifty-five

Common Expressions Related to Time[edit | edit source]

Báwo ni àsìkò yìí? – What time is it?

-== Numbers and Time ==
-Before we dive into telling time, let's briefly review counting in Yoruba. In the "Counting in Yoruba" lesson, we learned how to count from 1 to 100 in Yoruba, as well as the number system's ordinal and cardinal numbers. In addition, we learned how to form composite numbers and how to use numbers correctly in various situations. Therefore, if you haven't reviewed this lesson, I suggest you do so before proceeding with this lesson.
+! Yoruba !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
-In Yoruba, telling time revolves around the same principles as counting. When telling time in Yoruba, you have to consider the hour, minute, and type of day (a.m. or p.m.). For example, in English, we say "6:30 a.m." or "6:30 in the morning." In Yoruba, we would say "Ago kan loru" or "Itan kan loru," which means "It's half past six in the morning."
+| Wákàtí || /wákàtí/ || Hour
-Let's explore more about telling time in Yoruba.
+|-
-=== Yoruba Time System ===
+| Iṣẹ́jú || /iʃɛ́dʒu/ || Minute
-Yoruba time system is quite different from Western time systems. In Yoruba culture, a day is divided into two parts: a day from sunrise to sunset called "Owuro" and a night from sunset to sunrise called "Ale." Each of these periods is divided into twelve hours, starting from twelve o'clock. Therefore, the calculation of a particular hour depends on whether it's "Owuro" or "Ale."
+|-
-Here's a table showing how the Yoruba time system works:
+| Ọjọ́ || /ɔ́dʒɔ́/ || Day
-{| class="wikitable"
-! Time Period !! Yoruba Name !! Time Span
 |-
-| Morning || Owuro || 6 a.m. to 6 p.m.
+| Ọsẹ̀ || /ɔ́ʃɛ̀/ || Week
 |-
-| Afternoon || Irinisi || 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
+| Oṣù || /ɔ́ʃu/ || Month
 |-
-| Midday || Alewonje || 12 p.m. to 1 p.m.
-|-
+| ọdún || /ɔ́dún/ || Year
-| Evening || Ale || 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
 |}
-As shown in the table, the Yoruba time system divides a day into four periods, with each period broken into three segments. Notice how the Yoruba time system has different names for different times of the day. For example, the word "Owuro" means "Morning" in Yoruba, but it's used to refer to the period between 6 a.m. and 6 p.m.
+Understanding these words will lay the foundation for telling time.
-=== Telling Time in Yoruba ===
+=== Structure of Telling Time ===
-When telling time in Yoruba, we normally use the formula:
+In Yoruba, telling time involves a straightforward structure that combines the hour and minute. Here’s how it works:
-HOUR + "elewe" + MINUTE + "atannije" + "Owuro"/"Ale"
+. '''Hours''': The hour is expressed first, followed by the word "wákàtí" (hour).
-where "elewe" means "and," "atannije" means "minutes past," and "Owuro/Ale" means "Morning/Evening."
+. '''Minutes''': Then, the minutes are added, followed by the word "iṣẹ́jú" (minute).
-For instance, "Ago kan loru" translates to "It's half past six in the morning."
+For example, if it is 3:15, you would say "Mẹta wákàtí, mẹ́tàdínlógún iṣẹ́jú," which translates to "Three o'clock, fifteen minutes."
-Here's a table showing different ways to tell time in Yoruba:
+Let’s look at some examples:
 {| class="wikitable"
-! Time in English !! Time in Yoruba
+! Yoruba !! Pronunciation !! English
+|-
+| 1:00 || /íjè wákàtí/ || One o'clock
 |-
-| It's one o'clock || Ojo kan lona
+| 2:30 || /méjì wákàtí, mẹ́tàdínlógún iṣẹ́jú/ || Two thirty
 |-
-| It's two o'clock || Meji kan lona
+| 4:15 || /mẹ́rin wákàtí, mẹ́tàdínlógún iṣẹ́jú/ || Four fifteen
 |-
-| It's twenty minutes past two o'clock || Meji alewonje, igba meji atannije
+| 7:45 || /méje wákàtí, mẹ́rinlógún iṣẹ́jú/ || Seven forty-five
+|-
+| 8:05 || /méjì wákàtí, márùn-ún iṣẹ́jú/ || Eight five

+| 10:10 || /mẹ́wàá wákàtí, mẹ́wàá iṣẹ́jú/ || Ten ten
+|-
+| 12:00 || /méjìlélọ́gọ́rin wákàtí/ || Twelve o'clock
 |-
-| It's quarter to three in the afternoon || Meiji irinisi, ayokaadi mokanla
+| 6:20 || /mẹ́fà wákàtí, mẹ́rindínlógún iṣẹ́jú/ || Six twenty
 |-
-| It's half past four in the evening || Asoji ale, merin kan loru
+| 5:00 || /márùn-ún wákàtí/ || Five o'clock
 |-
-| It's midnight || Aro meta kan alewonje
+| 11:55 || /mẹ́wàá wákàtí, márùn-ún iṣẹ́jú/ || Eleven fifty-five
