TIME
Jikan = time / hour
But, before that... first thing to do is to refresh the NUMBERS
1 ichi
2 ni
3 san
4 yon / shi
5 go
6 roku
7 nana / shichi
8 hachi
9 kyu
10 jyu
Question 1 : ima nan-ji desu ka what time is it now?
OR ima nan-ji nan-pun desu ka what time and what minute is it now?
Answer : ima jyu ichi-ji desu now is 11˚clock
ima = now
number for "minutes", is quite different:
1 ichi pun = ippun
2 ni fun
3 san pun
4 yon fun
5 go fun
6 roku pun = roppun
7 nana fun
8 hachi pun = happun
9 kyuu fun
10 jyu pun = jyuppun OR jippun
Can also ask for local time for certain or exact place/state/country such as
Question 1.1 : Furansu (France) wa ima nan-ji desu ka
Question 2 : Anata wa maiasa nan-ji ni okimasu ka what time do you wake up every morning?
Anata wa maiban nan-ji ni nemasu ka what time do you sleep every night?
Answer : Watashi wa maiasa shichi-ji han okimasu every morning i wake up at 7:30
mai = every asa = morning ban = night / evening
han = half / 30-minutes
Before we begins with 'building' a full sentence, let's learn other vocabularies:
mainichi = every day maisyuu = every week
gozen = am gogo = pm
hiru = noon / day time yoru = evening / night
kesa = this morning konban = this evening / tonight
ototoi = day before yesterday kinou = yesterday kyou = today
ashita = tomorrow asatte = day after tomorrow
e.g kinou no ban = yesterday's evening
rei-ji = midnight / 12am sorosoro = soon
Sensyuu = last week konsyuu = this week raisyuu = next week
ichi jikan = in 1 hour ichi nichi jyou = one whole day issyukan = in 1 week
Now, making sentences are easy
Sample 1 : Kaigi wa ashita no nan-ji desu ka What time is tomorrow's meeting?
OR shiken = exam
To add "kara" from what time "made" to what time
Sample 2 : Kurasu wa nan-ji kara nan-ji made desu ka kurasu = class
OR place like ginkou = bank
To add "gozen" am and "gogo" pm
Sample 3 : Shigotou wa gozen kyu-ji kara gogo roku-ji made desu ka I work from 9am to 6pm
OR.. Mainichi gozen kyu-ji kara gogo roku-ji made hatarakimasu
Everyday I'm working from 9am to 6pmNEGATIVE : ashita hatarakimasen NOT working tomorrow
kinou hatarakimasen deshita NOT working yesterday (past tense)
Sample 4 : Shigotou wa nan-ji owarimasu ka Owarimasu = finish
OR Anata wa nan-ji made hatarakimasu ka
Sample 5 : Hiru (noon) yasumi (break) = lunch break
Hiru yasumi wa nan-ji kara nan-ji made desu ka
OR Anata wa nan-ji kara nan-ji made yasumimasu ka Yasumimasu = break
"kara" from and "made" to also can use for place.
Sample 6 : Penang kara Johor made desu from Penang to Johor
