As a Russian language teacher with 20 years of experience, I know that learning how to tell time in Russian can be challenging for beginners. However, knowing how to express the time is an essential skill to have in any language. In this lesson, you will learn how to tell time in Russian, including how to say hours, minutes, and the difference between AM and PM.
== Introduction ==


== Vocabulary ==
In this lesson, you will learn how to tell time in Russian. Knowing how to express time is essential for daily communication and scheduling appointments. We will cover how to say hours, minutes, and the difference between AM and PM. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently tell time in Russian.


Before we dive into telling time in Russian, let's first learn some vocabulary words that we will need to understand:
== Hours ==


* Час (chas) - hour
Let's start by learning how to say the hours in Russian. The Russian language uses a 24-hour clock, so the hours range from 1 to 24. Here are the numbers from 1 to 12 in Russian:
* Минута (minute) - minute
* Половина (polovina) - half (of an hour)
* Кварт (kvart) - quarter (of an hour)
* Утро (utro) - morning
* День (den') - day
* Вечер (vecher) - evening
* Ночь (noch') - night
* До (do) - before
* После (posle) - after
 
Now that you know the important vocabulary words for telling time in Russian, let's learn how to express time.
 
== Telling Time ==
 
One of the unique features of telling time in Russian is that you have to use different words for different parts of the day. Here are the basic phrases for telling time in Russian:
 
* Сколько времени? (Skol'ko vremeni?) - What time is it?
* Который час? (Kotoryy chas?) - What hour is it?
 
Below are some examples of how to express time in Russian:

Note that in Russian, you use the 24-hour format when telling military time (hours after noon). To convert a regular time, just add 12 hours. For example, 1 PM in regular time is 13:00 in military time.
To express the hours from 13 to 24, you simply add the word "час" (chas), which means "hour," after the number. For example:


To specify whether it is AM or PM (or morning, afternoon, evening, or night), use the following words:
* 13: тринадцать часов (trinadtsat' chasov) - thirteen o'clock
* 14: четырнадцать часов (chetirnadtsat' chasov) - fourteen o'clock
* 15: пятнадцать часов (pyatnadtsat' chasov) - fifteen o'clock
* 16: шестнадцать часов (shestnadtsat' chasov) - sixteen o'clock
* 17: семнадцать часов (semnadtsat' chasov) - seventeen o'clock
* 18: восемнадцать часов (vosemnadtsat' chasov) - eighteen o'clock
* 19: девятнадцать часов (devyatnadtsat' chasov) - nineteen o'clock
* 20: двадцать часов (dvadtsat' chasov) - twenty o'clock
* 21: двадцать один час (dvadtsat' odin chas) - twenty-one o'clock
* 22: двадцать два часа (dvadtsat' dva chasa) - twenty-two o'clock
* 23: двадцать три часа (dvadtsat' tri chasa) - twenty-three o'clock
* 24: двадцать четыре часа (dvadtsat' chetyre chasa) - twenty-four o'clock


* утро (utro) - morning (before noon)
It's important to note that when telling time in Russian, you generally omit the word "час" (chas) after the hour, unless you want to emphasize it or if it's necessary for clarity.
* день (den') - day (noon until 6 PM)
* вечер (vecher) - evening (6 PM until midnight)
* ночь (noch') - night (midnight until morning)


To say "in the morning", "in the afternoon", "in the evening", or "at night", simply add the appropriate word after the time of day. For example:
== Minutes ==


* Два часа дня (Dva chasa dnya) - Two o'clock in the afternoon
Now let's move on to learning how to express minutes in Russian. The word for "minute" in Russian is "минута" (minuta). To say the minutes, you simply state the number followed by the word "минут" (minut). For example:
* Семь часов вечера (Sem' chasov vechera) - Seven o'clock in the evening
* Полночь (Polnoch') - Midnight


If you want to specify that something happens at a certain time, use the following construction:
* 5 minutes: пять минут (pyat' minut)
* 10 minutes: десять минут (desyat' minut)
* 15 minutes: пятнадцать минут (pyatnadtsat' minut)
* 30 minutes: полчаса (polchasa)
* 45 minutes: сорок пять минут (sorok pyat' minut)


* В + nominative case for the hour (e.g. в один час (v odin chas) - at one o'clock)
When expressing 30 minutes, Russians often use the phrase "полчаса" (polchasa), which literally translates to "half an hour." This is a common way to say "30 minutes" in everyday conversation.
 
== AM and PM ==
 
To differentiate between AM and PM in Russian, you can use the phrases "утро" (utro) for "morning," "день" (den') for "day," "вечер" (vecher) for "evening," and "ночь" (noch') for "night." Here are some examples:
 
* 7 AM: семь утра (sem' utra)
* 1 PM: один час дня (odin chas dnya)
* 6 PM: шесть часов вечера (shest' chasov vechera)
* 11 PM: одиннадцать часов ночи (odinnadtsat' chasov nochi)
 
It's important to note that when telling time in Russian, you generally use the 24-hour clock format, so there is no need to specify AM or PM unless it's necessary for clarity or in informal conversations.
 
== Practice ==
 
Now it's time to practice telling time in Russian. Here are some exercises to help you reinforce what you've learned:
 
1. Translate the following times into Russian:
* 9:30 AM
* 3:45 PM
* 7:15 PM
* 12:00 PM (noon)
 
2. Write the following times in the 24-hour clock format:
* 4:30 AM
* 10:45 PM
* 2:20 PM
* 6:10 AM
 
3. Read the following times out loud in Russian:
* 8:00 AM
* 5:30 PM
* 11:55 PM
* 2:10 AM
 
Take your time to answer the exercises and don't worry if you make mistakes. Learning to tell time in Russian takes practice, so keep practicing until you feel confident.

Introduction[edit | edit source]

In this lesson, you will learn how to tell time in Russian. Knowing how to express time is essential for daily communication and scheduling appointments. We will cover how to say hours, minutes, and the difference between AM and PM. By the end of this lesson, you will be able to confidently tell time in Russian.

Hours[edit | edit source]

Let's start by learning how to say the hours in Russian. The Russian language uses a 24-hour clock, so the hours range from 1 to 24. Here are the numbers from 1 to 12 in Russian:

Russian Pronunciation English
один odin one
два dva two
три tri three
четыре chetyre four
пять pyat' five
шесть shest' six
семь sem' seven
восемь vosem' eight
девять devyat' nine
десять desyat' ten
одиннадцать odinnadtsat' eleven
двенадцать dvenadtsat' twelve

To express the hours from 13 to 24, you simply add the word "час" (chas), which means "hour," after the number. For example:

  • 13: тринадцать часов (trinadtsat' chasov) - thirteen o'clock
  • 14: четырнадцать часов (chetirnadtsat' chasov) - fourteen o'clock
  • 15: пятнадцать часов (pyatnadtsat' chasov) - fifteen o'clock
  • 16: шестнадцать часов (shestnadtsat' chasov) - sixteen o'clock
  • 17: семнадцать часов (semnadtsat' chasov) - seventeen o'clock
  • 18: восемнадцать часов (vosemnadtsat' chasov) - eighteen o'clock
  • 19: девятнадцать часов (devyatnadtsat' chasov) - nineteen o'clock
  • 20: двадцать часов (dvadtsat' chasov) - twenty o'clock
  • 21: двадцать один час (dvadtsat' odin chas) - twenty-one o'clock
  • 22: двадцать два часа (dvadtsat' dva chasa) - twenty-two o'clock
  • 23: двадцать три часа (dvadtsat' tri chasa) - twenty-three o'clock
  • 24: двадцать четыре часа (dvadtsat' chetyre chasa) - twenty-four o'clock

It's important to note that when telling time in Russian, you generally omit the word "час" (chas) after the hour, unless you want to emphasize it or if it's necessary for clarity.

Minutes[edit | edit source]

Now let's move on to learning how to express minutes in Russian. The word for "minute" in Russian is "минута" (minuta). To say the minutes, you simply state the number followed by the word "минут" (minut). For example:

  • 5 minutes: пять минут (pyat' minut)
  • 10 minutes: десять минут (desyat' minut)
  • 15 minutes: пятнадцать минут (pyatnadtsat' minut)
  • 30 minutes: полчаса (polchasa)
  • 45 minutes: сорок пять минут (sorok pyat' minut)

When expressing 30 minutes, Russians often use the phrase "полчаса" (polchasa), which literally translates to "half an hour." This is a common way to say "30 minutes" in everyday conversation.

AM and PM[edit | edit source]

To differentiate between AM and PM in Russian, you can use the phrases "утро" (utro) for "morning," "день" (den') for "day," "вечер" (vecher) for "evening," and "ночь" (noch') for "night." Here are some examples:

  • 7 AM: семь утра (sem' utra)
  • 1 PM: один час дня (odin chas dnya)
  • 6 PM: шесть часов вечера (shest' chasov vechera)
  • 11 PM: одиннадцать часов ночи (odinnadtsat' chasov nochi)

It's important to note that when telling time in Russian, you generally use the 24-hour clock format, so there is no need to specify AM or PM unless it's necessary for clarity or in informal conversations.

Practice[edit | edit source]

Now it's time to practice telling time in Russian. Here are some exercises to help you reinforce what you've learned:

1. Translate the following times into Russian:

  • 9:30 AM
  • 3:45 PM
  • 7:15 PM
  • 12:00 PM (noon)

2. Write the following times in the 24-hour clock format:

  • 4:30 AM
  • 10:45 PM
  • 2:20 PM
  • 6:10 AM

3. Read the following times out loud in Russian:

  • 8:00 AM
  • 5:30 PM
  • 11:55 PM
  • 2:10 AM

Take your time to answer the exercises and don't worry if you make mistakes. Learning to tell time in Russian takes practice, so keep practicing until you feel confident.

Conclusion[edit | edit source]

Congratulations! You have learned how to tell time in Russian. In this lesson, we covered how to say the hours, minutes, and the difference between AM and PM. Make sure to practice regularly to improve your skills. In the next lesson, we will continue to expand our vocabulary and learn new useful phrases. Удачи! (Udachi!) Good luck!
