Hei Folks,
Ready for another lesson? Today we gonna talk about time. How to ask the time? and how to learn the time?
saat : watch:hour
Let’s see!!
Saatiniz var mı ? Do you have a watch?
Saat kaç? What is the time?
Saat bir : it is 1 o’clock
Saat oniki : it is 12 o clock.
Saat oniki yirmiüç : it 12:23
Saat biri beş geçiyor : it is 5 past 1
saat onikiyi beş geçiyor : it is5 past 12
saat bire beş var. : it is 5 minutes to 1
saat onikiye beş var : it is 5 minutes to 12
saat yarım : it is 12:30
saat oniki buçuk : it is half past 12
saat onikiyi çeyrek geçiyor : it is quarter past 12
saat onikiye çeyrek var : it is quarter to 12
The idea is simple “var” is used with “hour + e”
“geçiyor” is used with “hour+i”
Put some times and read them in the comments section!

hrrr, şeytan, i had written something, then this page just told me “woops, wasn’t me” and switched off
4:15 dördü çeyrek geçiyor
20:16 yirmiyi onaltı geçiyor
21:56 yirmiikiye dört var
17:46 onyedi kırkaltı
01:30 bir buçuk
18:20 onaltıyı yirmi geçiyor < – on sekizi yirmi geçiyor
ok, so when forming numbers bigger than 10, two numbers must be clinged like in oniki, yirmiüç, etc., right? mm. we’ve learnt numbers during turkish class but i didn’t hear such thing
<— actually they are written seperately. I wrote them all wrong. Only in checks it is written all together. AND GOOD WORK Valentina!

18:20 <— altıyı yirmi geçiyor.
“Also in Turkey If the time is bigger than 12 you can subtract 12 from it and then read it as well.” - i know, that’s what we do in Lithuania as well
