== | === Vocabulary for Telling Time === | ||
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: | |||
{| class="wikitable" | |||

| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ || anziβ || hour | |||
|- | |||
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱⴰ || anziβa || half past | |||
|- | |||
| ⴳⵉⴷ || giɣd || minute | |||

|- | |||
| 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" | ||

|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| 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 === | |||
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 | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| 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 === | |||
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 | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| 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. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ || anziβ da anɡuɣ || It is midnight. | |||
|- | |- | ||
| | |||
| ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ || anziβ da azid || It is 11 o'clock at night. | |||

- 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. |
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵏⴳⵓⴳ | anziβ da anɡuɣ | It is midnight. |
ⴰⵏⵣⵉⴱ ⴷⴰ ⴰⵣⵉⴷ | anziβ da azid | It is 11 o'clock at night. |
