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. ƒ


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
