How do I tell time in Korean?

In the realm of Korean Language Training, telling time is a fundamental skill for effective communication. As an experienced tutor offering Korean Language Training online coaching through UrbanPro.com, I'll guide you through how to tell time in Korean:

1. Basic Phrases:

   • To ask "What time is it?" you can say "몇 시에요?" (myeot shieyo?).

2. Numbers for Hours:

   • When stating the hour, use the Korean numbers. For example:
     • 1 o'clock: 한 시 (han shi)
     • 2 o'clock: 두 시 (du shi)
     • 3 o'clock: 세 시 (se shi)
     • ...

3. Numbers for Minutes:

   • Minutes are expressed similarly, for instance:
     • 10 minutes: 십 분 (ship bun)
     • 20 minutes: 이십 분 (i-ship bun)
     • 30 minutes: 삼십 분 (sam-ship bun)
     • ...

4. Combining Hours and Minutes:

   • To combine hours and minutes, use "시" (shi) to indicate the hour and "분" (bun) to indicate minutes. For example:
     • 2:30: 두 시 삼십 분 (du shi sam-ship bun)
     • 4:45: 네 시 사십오 분 (ne shi sa-shi-o bun)
     • ...

5. Expressions for Specific Times:

   • Specific times like noon and midnight are expressed as:
     • Noon: 정오 (jeong-o)
     • Midnight: 자정 (jajeong)
