To express the time 12:15 in Japanese, you would say じゅうにじじゅうごふん (jū ni-ji jū go-fun).

Please remember that you just add number plus ふん/ぷん after じゅう (jū) to say from 11 to 19 minutes, like じゅういっぷん (jū ippun), じゅうごふん (jū go-fun).

Keep practicing and soon it will become second nature to you:)

How to say time as12:15 ?

Thank you

Hello Jackie,

Thank you for posting.

Unfortunately we couldn't find the part you're referring to: 'good morning.'

Could you please specify what you meant?

Thank you for studying with us!

Hey guys! ?

I keep looking for the curiosity/fun fact about the towns that come after "good morning...", but I can't find it. Where should I be looking for it?

Particles are often omitted in casual conversations.

So of course you can put that properly in the sentence.

David,

The "wa" here, as in many informal cases, is implied.

Hello, I'm just curious as to why when you ask "Ima nanji desu ka?", there is no "wa" after the Ima?

Thank you for your question.

Koko means ‘here’, asoko means ‘over there’ and soko means ‘there.’

Kore means ‘this’ and sore means ‘that.’:smile:

10 past 9 is ‘kuji juppun.’

5 to 10 is ‘10ji gofun mae’ or ‘kuji gojuu gofun.’

half past 11is ‘juuichiji han’ or ‘juuichiji sanjuppun.’

Hi Yuki-san and all,

Wondering how do we say ... 10 past 9 or 5 to 10 or half past 11 ?

Note: I am not sure if this has been answered coz I haven't checked all the posts below.

Thanks.

Cheers

Hi, I realize your teaching proper language. In the U.S. telling or "giving" time has evolved with digital clocks and watches. Have the "spoken" word of times or way to say time changed in Japan also?

Chun san,

Konnichia.

Many Japanese people tend to thank at least twice.

For example,

When someone offers you a seat in a train, you should say ‘thank you’ immediately.

In this case you should say ‘arigatougozaimasu.’

When the person who offered you the seat is getting off the train, you should say ‘arigatougozaimashita.’

Other example is

When you ask someone to take a photo of you and the person accepts it, you should say ‘arigatougozaimasu.’

when you receive your camera, you should say ‘arigatougozaimashita.’

What is the difference between Arigato gozaimasu and Arigato gozaimashita, as used in this lesson?

When and how do I use each?

Arigato...

Lol. Galante-sensei, I don't why, but I find it so cute when you mess up the irregular times! :3 Please know, I'm not saying that in a bad way, in fact, I could mess up on those irregular times as well. :)

> marilena-san, (丸さん)

thank you for commenting and I'm very sorry for super late reply!!!:disappointed:

The rules for 'fun' and 'pun' are usually same as how those work with smaller numbers (1-10).

It means it doesn't matter if it's 10, 20 or 50 minutes; as long as it's a multiple of 10, the word

for 'minute' is 'pun'.:wink:

こんにちは。Thank you for a kind comment! :smile:

To connect i-adjective like すごい, it's ～くて, so it'd be すごい このレッスンはすごくて（ORすばらしくて）、とてもべんりです :wink:

Yes! It's very convenient to know how to tell time and/or to understand when someone tells you time. :grin:

Glad to know you find learning Japanese fun! Let's keep it going! :innocent::thumbsup:

このレッスンはすごいで、とってもべんりですよ。

This lesson is great and is very convenient.

I have been able to talk about the hours of the day for a long time now, but have not been able to comfortably talk about the minutes to an hour. That is, until now. :sunglasses: I look forward to learning how to say all of the minutes in the lessons ahead. :thumbsup:

日本語を勉強することがすごく楽しいですよ！

Studying Japanese is a lot of fun!

こんにちは！

it´s great to now how to tell time and i even lesrned the kanji 今 何 時 分, thts so cool!!

but how do i know wheter it´s pun or fun vor the other 50 minutes and how do i say a.m. p.m. or the other 12 hours? does it folow a patern? And olso in english german and greek there are expresions like 10 past 3 or 10 to 3 or the quorters and halfs as a word not as the numbers 15 30 and 45. even though they shift from languige to languige they all have them. is there such an expresion in japanese and do they use it, or is it always gust number hour number minute?

Thanks for the help

丸

P.S. i hate to change my name to marirena and the only nickname i like is mar and i know there is no r alone and usually in foreighn words they fill that with the u silables. so i searched maru in the dictionery and found this kanji witch is easy forme to remember and write, peaple will read it the way i want and it has a cool meaning, so i hope its ok if i use that.
