  • When visiting Italy, you'll probably want to keep a tight schedule, as there's so much to see and eat! You may have to ask someone what time it is or ask what time something is going to happen, and of course you'll have to understand their response, so let's learn how to tell time in Italian, both generally by time of day, and also the exact time.
    Script by Patrizia Farina, Professor of Italian at Western Connecticut State University and Purchase College.

    Thank you for just getting to the point. Sometimes language tutorials have a lot of distracting chatter and it's hard to focus on what's important. You know how to organize all this information in such a logical way and you can still be very funny.

    Pomeriggio- Afternoon

    Sono le due- It's two o'clock (plural)
    Sono le quattro- It's four o'clock (plural)
    Sono le otto- It's eight o'clock (plural)
    Any number when telling the time that isn't one o'clock needs to be in plural
    Sono le tre, precise- It's precisely three o'clock
    Sono le tre in punto- It's three on the dot
    Sono le diciasette e venticinque- It's 17:25/5:25 pm

    Day in the Life of Franco
    Alle sei mi alzo- At six o'clock I wake up
    Alle sei e un quarto faccio la doccia- At 6:15 I take a shower
    Alle sette faccio colazione- At seven I have breakfast
    Alle otto esco di casa- At eight I leave the house
    Alle nove ho lezione di matematica- At nine I have maths class

    thanks! My gf is italian and she and her whole family say that they don't do the rounding up and then minus whatever minutes are left. They were all laughing when I told them that I learned this from two different videos. They just say the number for the minutes and that's all there is to it. What is your take on this?

  • @hamedabboud3808

    i have a question please.
    why do we use the verb "sono" when asking about the time?

    • @casper1754
      @casper1754 Рік тому +1

      i presume you found out, but for others: sono is the present tense 3rd person plural form of essere (to be) or, in short, sono is 'they are'. this is because there are multiple hours if it's 2 o'clock (or higher). it will seem strange because in english we say the TIME IS, but in italian we're asking what the HOURS ARE - we're counting the hours.
      hope i could explain okay i started learning italian just earlier this week but i know some spanish and it's the same system with that too lol
