Vocabulary
Before we start, let's go over some common words and phrases related to time in Finnish:
- kello - clock/watch
- aika - time
Telling Time in Finnish
Now, let's move on to telling time in Finnish. The format for telling time in Finnish is similar to that in English. The main difference is that we use a 24-hour clock in Finnish, so we don't use AM or PM. For example, 1:00 PM in English would be 13:00 in Finnish.
Hours
To tell the time in Finnish, you say the hour first, followed by the word "tunti" which means "hour". If necessary, you can also specify if it's morning or evening by using the words "aamu" (morning) and "ilta" (evening). Below are some examples:
| Finnish | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Kello yksi | kel-loo yk-si | One o'clock |
| Kello kaksi aamulla | kel-lo ka-ksi aa-mul-la | Two o'clock in the morning |
| Kello viisi iltapäivällä | kel-lo vii-si il-ta-päi-väl-lä | Five o'clock in the evening |
Note that you can also say "kaksitoista" instead of "kaksitoista tuntia" to mean "12 o'clock".
Minutes
To say the minutes, we use the word "minuutti" which means "minute" in Finnish. The minutes are said after the hour, and to separate them, we use the word "ja" which means "and". Below are some examples:
| Finnish | Pronunciation | English Translation |
|---|---|---|
| Kello kolme ja neljä minuuttia | kel-lo kol-me ja nel-jä mi-nuu-ttia | Three minutes past four |
| Kello puoli yhdeksän | kel-lo puo-li yh-deks-än | Half past eight |
| Kello neljäkymmentä viisi | kel-lo nel-jä-kym-men-tä vii-si | Forty-five minutes past the hour |
Practice Exercises
Now it's time for some practice exercises to see how well you have mastered telling time in Finnish. Below are some questions:
- What time is it if the clock says "Kello kymmenen"?
- What time is it if the clock says "Kello kolme aamulla"?
- What time is it if the clock says "Kello kaksikymmentä yksi"?
Answers:
- It's 10 o'clock
- It's 3 o'clock in the morning
- It's 9:00 PM
Congratulations!
