时间 (Shíjiān) - Time
In this lesson, you will learn how to tell the time, the days of the week, and months in Turkish.
Hours
Turkish uses a 12-hour clock system, similar to Mandarin Chinese. However, the Turkish language uses different words for the periods of time before and after noon.
For example, to say "it is 1 o'clock" in Turkish, you would say "saat bir" (小时一). To say "it is 1 o'clock in the afternoon," you would say "öğleden sonra saat bir" (下午一点钟).
Here are some examples of how to tell the time in Turkish:
Turkish | Pronunciation | Mandarin Chinese Translation |
---|---|---|
saat bir | saht beer | 小时一 |
saat iki | saht ee-kee | 小时二 |
saat on iki | saht ohn ee-kee | 小时十二 |
saat dokuz | saht doh-kooz | 小时九 |
