To tell the time in Abkhazian, we use the 24-hour clock system. Here are some useful phrases:
 
* Саҟала аиҟауаҩа — It is one o'clock in the morning.

== Using Time Expressions in Sentences ==
Time is an important aspect of Abkhazian culture. Punctuality is highly valued, and it is considered impolite to be late for appointments or meetings. Abkhazians also have a strong sense of time management and prioritize efficiency in their daily routines.


Now that we've learned some essential time expressions, let's practice using them in sentences. Here are a few examples:
