Time to eat, time to sleep etc

Postby ly2kutd1552 » April 25th, 2014 7:38 am

Hi,

I don't actually know if I know the answer to this already but are my translations correct?

It's time to sleep/It's time I got some sleep.
寝る時間だ。

Time to drink some beer.
ビールを飲む時間だ。

Time to watch a Ghibli movie.
スタジオジブリの作品を見る時間です。

I think it's time to get a haircut.
髪を散髪する時間と思っています。

Thank you.

Ly2kutd1552 san,
It's time to sleep/It's time I got some sleep.
寝る時間だ。Correct! :D

Time to drink some beer.
ビールを飲む時間だ。Correct! :D

Time to watch a Ghibli movie.
スタジオジブリの作品を見る時間です。Correct! :D

I think it's time to get a haircut.
散髪する時間だと思っています。You need だafter 時間 because it’s a noun.
If you book a hair salon for hair cut, you can use this sentence.
Otherwise, I recommend you to say そろそろ散髪したほうがいいと思っています。I think I should get a haircut soon.
