=== Expressing the Hours ===

In Romanian, the 12-hour clock system is used to tell time. To express the hours, we use the word "ora" (hour) followed by the number. Here are the numbers from 1 to 12 in Romanian:

To express a specific hour, we simply add the corresponding number after "ora". For example:
==== Telling the Hour ====


- "Ora unu" means "one o'clock".
In Romanian, telling the hour is quite straightforward. You start with the word "ora" followed by the number. Here’s how to express the hours from 1 to 12:
- "Ora cinci" means "five o'clock".
- "Ora zece" means "ten o'clock".


=== Expressing the Minutes ===
{| class="wikitable"


To express the minutes, we use the word "și" (and) followed by the number. Here are the numbers from 1 to 59 in Romanian:

| ora douăsprezece || /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə.s.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ || twelve o'clock
 
|}
 
==== Telling the Minutes ====
 
When it comes to minutes, Romanian uses a simple structure. You simply add the number of minutes after the hour. Here’s how it works:
 
* For minutes 1 to 29, you say "ora" followed by the hour and then the minutes. For example: "ora unu și zece" means "one ten" (1:10).
 
* For minutes after 30, you would express it as the next hour minus the minutes. For example: "ora două fără zece" means "two minus ten" (1:50).

In this lesson, we will explore the vocabulary and phrases you need to confidently tell the time in Romanian.

We'll start with the basic vocabulary, including how to express hours and minutes. Then, we will present a variety of examples to illustrate these concepts. To solidify your knowledge, we’ll conclude with practical exercises and detailed solutions.

The Basics of Telling Time[edit | edit source]

Understanding how to tell time in Romanian involves learning specific vocabulary associated with hours and minutes. Romanian uses a 24-hour clock format, similar to many European languages. Let’s break this down step by step.

Key Vocabulary[edit | edit source]

Here are some essential words and phrases that will help you get started:

Romanian Pronunciation English
ora /ˈo.ra/ hour
minute /miˈnu.te/ minute
ceas /tʃas/ clock/time
dimineața /di.miˈne.a.t͡sə/ in the morning
la amiază /la aˈmi.a.zə/ at noon
după-amiaza /ˈdu.pə.a.mi.a.zə/ in the afternoon
seara /ˈse.a.ra/ in the evening
noaptea /ˈno.ap.te.a/ at night

Telling the Hour[edit | edit source]

In Romanian, telling the hour is quite straightforward. You start with the word "ora" followed by the number. Here’s how to express the hours from 1 to 12:

Romanian Pronunciation English
ora unu /ˈo.ra ˈu.nu/ one o'clock
ora două /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə/ two o'clock
ora trei /ˈo.ra ˈtrej/ three o'clock
ora patru /ˈo.ra ˈpa.tru/ four o'clock
ora cinci /ˈo.ra ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ five o'clock
ora șase /ˈo.ra ˈʃa.se/ six o'clock
ora șapte /ˈo.ra ˈʃap.te/ seven o'clock
ora opt /ˈo.ra ˈopt/ eight o'clock
ora nouă /ˈo.ra ˈno.ə/ nine o'clock
ora zece /ˈo.ra ˈze.t͡ʃe/ ten o'clock

ora douăsprezece /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə.s.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ twelve o'clock

Telling the Minutes[edit | edit source]

When it comes to minutes, Romanian uses a simple structure. You simply add the number of minutes after the hour. Here’s how it works:

  • For minutes 1 to 29, you say "ora" followed by the hour and then the minutes. For example: "ora unu și zece" means "one ten" (1:10).
  • For minutes after 30, you would express it as the next hour minus the minutes. For example: "ora două fără zece" means "two minus ten" (1:50).

Here’s a table with examples:

Romanian Pronunciation English
ora unu și cinci /ˈo.ra ˈu.nu ʃi ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ one o'clock and five minutes (1:05)
ora trei și douăzeci /ˈo.ra ˈtrej ʃi ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ three twenty (3:20)

ora cinci și treizeci /ˈo.ra ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ ʃi ˈtrei.ze.t͡ʃi/ five thirty (5:30)
ora șase și două /ˈo.ra ˈʃa.se ʃi ˈdo.ʊə/ six two (6:02)
ora opt fără cinci /ˈo.ra ˈopt ˈfə.rə ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ five to eight (7:55)
ora nouă fără douăzeci /ˈo.ra ˈno.ə ˈfə.rə ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ twenty to nine (8:40)
ora zece fără unsprezece /ˈo.ra ˈze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe/ eleven to ten (9:49)
ora unsprezece fără cinci /ˈo.ra ˈuns.pre.ze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈt͡ʃiŋt͡ʃ/ five to eleven (10:55)
ora douăsprezece fără douăzeci /ˈo.ra ˈdo.ʊə.s.pre.ze.t͡ʃe ˈfə.rə ˈdo.ʊə.ze.t͡ʃi/ twenty to twelve (11:40)
