Cultural Note
There are also many ways of telling time in Vietnamese.
For example, 1:55 PM:
- Mười ba giờ năm mươi lăm: Thirteen fifteen (24-hour clock).
- Một giờ năm mươi lăm chiều: One fifteen in the afternoon.
- Hai giờ kém năm chiều: Five ‘till two in the afternoon.
The Vietnamese 24-hour timeline is broken into five approximate periods:
- sáng = morning, 5:00 – 11:00 AM
- trưa = noon, 12:00 PM
- chiều = afternoon, 1:00 – 5:00
- tối = evening, 6:00 – 10:00 PM
- khuya = late at night, 11:00 PM – 4:00 AM
