== The Basics ==
| ⴳⴰⵔⴰ || ɡara || midnight


Before we dive into the specifics of telling time in Kabyle, let's start with the basics. In Kabyle, the word for "time" is "udem" (pronounced oo-dem). This word will come in handy when discussing time-related topics.
|-


=== Hours ===
| ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ || anɡuɣ || morning


To express the hours in Kabyle, we use a combination of numbers and specific words. Here are the words for the hours in Kabyle:
|-
 
| ⴰⵙⵉⴷ || asid || afternoon
 
|-
 
| ⴰⵣⵉⴷ || azid || evening
 
|}
 
Now that we have the basic vocabulary, let's see how to structure sentences when telling time.
 
=== Structure for Telling Time ===
 
In Kabyle, the structure for telling time is quite straightforward. The general pattern is:
 
* '''[Time] + [Part of the day]'''.
 
For example:
 
* To say "It is 2 o'clock in the morning," you would say:
 
* '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ ⴷⴰ ⴷⴰⴳ''' (anẓib anɡuɣ da dag) - "It is 2 o'clock in the morning."
 
Let’s look at some examples to illustrate this further:


{| class="wikitable"
{| class="wikitable"
! Kabyle !! Pronunciation !! English Translation

|-
|-
| yiwet || yee-wet || one o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ || anziβ da asid || It is 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
 
|-
|-
| sin || seen || two o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ ⴳⴰⵔⴰ || anziβ asid ɡara || It is 12 o'clock at midnight.
 
|-
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ || anziβ anɡuɣ || It is 3 o'clock in the morning.
 
|-
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ || anziβ da azid || It is 5 o'clock in the evening.
 
|-
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ || anziβ anziβa || It is half past 4.
 
|}
 
=== Telling Minutes ===
 
When it comes to expressing minutes, Kabyle tends to follow a similar method to English. Here’s how to express minutes:
 
* '''[Hour] + [minutes] + [Part of the day]'''.
 
For example:
 
* To say "It is 10 minutes past 3," you would say:
 
* '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ''' (anziβ anziβa anɡuɣ) - "It is 10 minutes past 3."
 
Here are more examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Kabyle !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
|-
| krad || krad || three o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴷⴰⴳ || anziβ anziβa daɡ || It is 10 minutes past 5.
 
|-
|-
| kuz || kooz || four o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴳⴰⵔⴰ || anziβ anziβa ɡara || It is 15 minutes past 6.
 
|-
|-
| sin || seen || five o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ || anziβ anziβa asid || It is 30 minutes past 2.
 
|-
|-
| sdis || s-dees || six o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ || anziβ anziβa azid || It is 45 minutes past 1.
 
|-
|-
| seb'a || seb-ah || seven o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ ⴳⴰⵔⴰ || anziβ da asid ɡara || It is 5 minutes to 8.
 
|}
 
=== Parts of the Day ===
 
Understanding the parts of the day can help you specify the time even further. Here’s how to refer to different parts of the day in Kabyle:
 
* '''Morning''': ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ (anɡuɣ)
 
* '''Afternoon''': ⴰⵙⵉⴷ (asid)
 
* '''Evening''': ⴰⵣⵉⴷ (azid)
 
* '''Night''': ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ (anɡuɣ) - often used interchangeably but can refer to the period before midnight.
 
Here are some practical examples:
 
{| class="wikitable"
 
! Kabyle !! Pronunciation !! English
 
|-
|-
| tam || taam || eight o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ || anziβ anɡuɣ || It is 7 o'clock in the morning.
 
|-
|-
| tza || tza || nine o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ || anziβ asid || It is 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
 
|-
|-
| tes'a || te-saah || ten o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ || anziβ azid || It is 9 o'clock in the evening.
 
|-
|-
| tasnakt || tas-nakt || eleven o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ || anziβ da anɡuɣ || It is midnight.
 
|-
|-
| tnayen || t-naa-yen || twelve o'clock
 
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ || anziβ da azid || It is 11 o'clock at night.
 
|}
|}


To indicate a specific hour, you simply need to combine the number with the word "udem" (time). For example, "yiwet udem" means "one o'clock," and "sin udem" means "two o'clock."
=== Practice Exercises ===
 
Now that we’ve covered the vocabulary and structure for telling time in Kabyle, it’s time to put your knowledge to the test! Below are some exercises to help you practice.

1. '''Fill in the Blank''': Complete the sentences with the appropriate Kabyle terms for telling time.


Now that we know how to express the hours, let's move on to the minutes. In Kabyle, we use the word "n uksum" (pronounced n oo-ksoom) to refer to minutes. To express a specific number of minutes, you simply need to combine the number with the word "n uksum." For example, "yiwet n uksum" means "one minute," and "sin n uksum" means "two minutes."
* It is ___ o'clock in the afternoon. (1:00)


=== Parts of the Day ===

=== Solutions and Explanations ===
 
1.
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ''' (anziβ da asid).
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ''' (anziβ anziβa azid).
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ''' (anziβ anɡuɣ).
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴶⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ''' (anziβ da asid).
 
2.
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ''' (anziβ da anɡuɣ) - It is 6 o'clock at night.
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ''' (anziβ anziβa anɡuɣ) - It is 10 minutes past 4 in the morning.
 
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ''' (anziβ anziβa asid) - It is half past 12 in the afternoon.


In Kabyle, there are different words to indicate different parts of the day. Let's explore each of them:
* It is '''ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ''' (anziβ da azid) - It is 15 minutes to 8 in the evening.


* "tewwurt" (pronounced tew-wert) - morning
3.
* "tadrimt" (pronounced tad-rimt) - afternoon
* "tawenza" (pronounced ta-wen-za) - evening
* "taddart" (pronounced tad-dart) - night


To indicate a specific part of the day along with the time, you simply need to combine the words. For example, "yiwet n uksum tewwurt" means "one minute past morning," and "sin udem tadrimt" means "two o'clock in the afternoon."
* ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ → It is 11 o'clock at night.


== Cultural Insights ==
* ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ → It is 4 o'clock in the afternoon.


In Kabyle culture, time is highly valued, and being punctual is considered a sign of respect and courtesy. It is important to arrive on time for appointments, meetings, and social gatherings. Being late is often frowned upon and can be seen as a lack of respect for others' time. Therefore, it is always a good practice to plan your schedule accordingly and allow ample time for transportation and unforeseen circumstances.
* ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ → It is 7 o'clock in the morning.


Kabyle culture also places importance on the different parts of the day. Each part of the day has its own significance and activities associated with it. For example, mornings are often dedicated to work and productivity, while evenings are a time for relaxation, socializing, and enjoying meals with family and friends. Understanding the cultural context of time in Kabyle can help you navigate social interactions more effectively and respectfully.
* ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ → It is midnight.

  • Practical exercises to help you practice and solidify your understanding.

By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently tell the time in Kabyle, making your conversations more dynamic and engaging. Let's get started!

Vocabulary for Telling Time[edit | edit source]

To begin, let's delve into the basic vocabulary used when telling time in Kabyle. Just like in English, we have specific words for hours, minutes, and parts of the day. Here’s a breakdown of the essential terms:

Kabyle Pronunciation English
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ anziβ hour
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ anziβa half past
ⴳⵉⴷ giɣd minute
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰⵏ anziβan quarter past
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰⵏ anziβan quarter to
ⴷⴰⵏⴰ daɲa noon
ⴳⴰⵔⴰ ɡara midnight
ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ anɡuɣ morning
ⴰⵙⵉⴷ asid afternoon
ⴰⵣⵉⴷ azid evening

Now that we have the basic vocabulary, let's see how to structure sentences when telling time.

Structure for Telling Time[edit | edit source]

In Kabyle, the structure for telling time is quite straightforward. The general pattern is:

  • [Time] + [Part of the day].

For example:

  • To say "It is 2 o'clock in the morning," you would say:
  • ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ ⴷⴰ ⴷⴰⴳ (anẓib anɡuɣ da dag) - "It is 2 o'clock in the morning."

Let’s look at some examples to illustrate this further:

Kabyle Pronunciation English
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ anziβ da asid It is 1 o'clock in the afternoon.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ ⴳⴰⵔⴰ anziβ asid ɡara It is 12 o'clock at midnight.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ anziβ anɡuɣ It is 3 o'clock in the morning.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ anziβ da azid It is 5 o'clock in the evening.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ anziβ anziβa It is half past 4.

Telling Minutes[edit | edit source]

When it comes to expressing minutes, Kabyle tends to follow a similar method to English. Here’s how to express minutes:

  • [Hour] + [minutes] + [Part of the day].

For example:

  • To say "It is 10 minutes past 3," you would say:
  • ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ (anziβ anziβa anɡuɣ) - "It is 10 minutes past 3."

Here are more examples:

Kabyle Pronunciation English
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴷⴰⴳ anziβ anziβa daɡ It is 10 minutes past 5.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴳⴰⵔⴰ anziβ anziβa ɡara It is 15 minutes past 6.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ anziβ anziβa asid It is 30 minutes past 2.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ anziβ anziβa azid It is 45 minutes past 1.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ ⴳⴰⵔⴰ anziβ da asid ɡara It is 5 minutes to 8.

Parts of the Day[edit | edit source]

Understanding the parts of the day can help you specify the time even further. Here’s how to refer to different parts of the day in Kabyle:

  • Morning: ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ (anɡuɣ)
  • Afternoon: ⴰⵙⵉⴷ (asid)
  • Evening: ⴰⵣⵉⴷ (azid)
  • Night: ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ (anɡuɣ) - often used interchangeably but can refer to the period before midnight.

Here are some practical examples:

Kabyle Pronunciation English
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ anziβ anɡuɣ It is 7 o'clock in the morning.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵙⵉⴷ anziβ asid It is 4 o'clock in the afternoon.
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ anziβ azid It is 9 o'clock in the evening.
