Japanese online lession 5 – How to say what time is it in japanese
Written by Jpbasic on December 11th, 2011vocabulary: いま(now)、はん(half)、なんじ(what time)、なんぷん(what minute)、ごぜん(a.m., moring)、ごご(p.m.,afternoon)、あさ(morning)、ひる(daytime, noon)、けさ(this morning)、こんばん(tonight)、えーと(well, let me see)、ニューヨーク(New York)、ペキン(Beijing)、ロンドン(London)、バンコク(Bangkok)…
1. なん is used with a counter suffix to ask questions concerning number or amounts. Therefore, the word なんじ (なんぷん) is used to ask the time.
ex, いま なんじ ですか。What time is it now?
ニューヨーク は いま なんじ ですか。 In New York what time is it now?
2. To express time, the counter suffixes 時 (じ)(o’clock) and 分(ふん)(minutes) are ased. 分 is read ふん after 2,5,7,9 and ぷん after 1,3,4,6,8 or 10.
1,6,8, and 10 are read いっ、ろっ、はっ、じゅっ before ぷん
ex,

2時10分
にじ

4.15
よじ
じゅうごふん
7.20
しちじ
にじゅっぷん
9.25
