How to tell time in Hindi Posted by Nitin Kumar on Oct 31, 2012 in Hindi Language
Let me show you how to tell time in Hindi in this post. In Hindi, we use 12 hour system which means we use AM and PM.
Time = समय (Samay)
Watch = घड़ी (Ghadi)
O’clock = बजे (Baje)
Hour = घँटा (Ghanta)
Minute = मिनट (Minute)
Day = दिन (Din)
Night = रात (Raat)
Morning = सुबह (Subah)
Afternoon = दोपहर (Dopahar)
Evening = शाम (Shaam)
Past = बजकर (Bajkar)
Before showing you some examples on how to tell time in Hindi, I would suggest you to see the post on the numbers in Hindi at : https://blogs.transparent.com/hindi/hindi-numbers-1-100/
So some of the examples on the time are:
7:00 = सात बजे (saat baje)
7:00 am = सुबह के सात बजे (subah ke saat baje)
7:00 pm = शाम के सात बजे (shaam ke saat baje)
1:25 = एक बजकर पचीस मिनट (ek bajkar pachis minat)
6:18 = छह बजकर अठारह मिनट (chh bajkar atharah minat)
4:55 = पाँच बजने में पाँच मिनट (panch bajne mein panch minat)
4:55 = चार बजकर पचपन मिनट (char bajkar pachpan minat)
8:20 = आठ बजकर बीस मिनट (aath bajkar bis minat)
2:15 = सवा दो बजे (sava do baje)
7:45 = पौने आठ बजे (paune aath baje)
(Notice that the we add 1 to the hour when we use पौने (Paune) = “a quarter to” as we do in English)
12:30 pm = दोपहर के साढ़े बारह बजे (daupahar ke sadhe barah hai )
12:45 pm = दोपहर के पौने एक (daupahar ke paune ek)
12 noon = दोपहर के बारह बजे (dopahar ke barah baje)
8:30 p.m. = रात के साढे आठ (raat ke sadhe aath).
5:15 p.m. = शाम के सवा पाँच (shaam ke sava panch)
