Lesson 17 Telling Time
(Pagsasabi ng Oras)
By: George Aguila & Christine Raymundo
How to ask “What time is it?”
2 different ways to ask 1) Anong oras na? [What time is it?] 2) Alas (Spanish number) na ba? Example: Alas tres na ba? [Is it 3 oclock yet?]
How to respond to the question..
So if someone asks “Anong oras na?” Use the following Syntax: Ala(s) + (Spanish number) + na.
Examples: Alas tres na. [Three o’clock.]
Ala
una na. [One o’clock.] Alas otso na. Di-ba? [Eight o’clock. Right?]
Spanish Time Chart
1:00 ala una 2:00 alas dos 3:00 alas tres 4:00 alas kuwatro 5:00 alas singko 6:00 alas sais 7:00 alas siyete 8:00 alas otso 9:00 alas nuwebe 10:00 alas diyes 11:00 alas onse 12:00 alas dose
What if it’s AM or PM?
Tagalog/Filipino is a confusing language Recall words that express time such as: UMAGA TANGHALI HAPON GABI MADALING ARAW Don’t you wish there was a word for “AM” and “PM” in Filipino? Well there is n.u. –ng umaga and n.g.- ng gabi but you still have to use the different time expressions.…
What if it’s AM or PM? Cont….
A more complete answer is:
Ala(s) + (Spanish number) + NG + (time expression)
Examples: Alas dos ng madaling-araw. [2:00am]
Ala
una ng hapon. [1:00pm] Alas siyete ng gabi. [7:00pm]
What if its not exactly on the hour? Cont…… Then you’re in trouble!
No seriously it’s a li’l more tricky 1st - Some important vocabulary to note: y medya = and half Menos = minus, less Menos kinse one o’clock para ala una = 15 minutes before
More Vocabulary before we continue..
13 – trese 14 – katorse 15 – kinse 16 – disisais 17 – disisiyete 18 – disiotso 19 – disinuwebe 20 - beynte 21 – beynte-uno 22 – beynte-dos 23 – beynte-tres 30 – trenta 31 – trenta y -uno 32 – trenta y -dos 40 - kuwarenta
What if it’s not exactly on the hour? (The Answer.) Examples 2:30 Alas dos y media.
5:30 Alas singko y media.
10:37 Alas diyes trentay-sais.
But what about 3:45? Or 6:53?
“Menos RULE”: IF the time is over 40min then, subtract 60 - (time) = (a number between 4-20) Menos + Spanish number (4-20) + para + time its gonna be Example: 5:47am Menos trese para alas sais ng umaga.
So how do I say…
8:15pm Alas otso kinse ng hapon 10:43am Menos disisiyete para alas onse ng umaga Alas diyes kuwarentay tres 6:21pm Alas sais beynte-uno ng gabi 12:29am Alas dose y beynte-nuwebe ng hatinggabi 5:45:pm Menos kuwarto para alas sais ng gabi. Menos kinse para alas sais ng gabi.

Talking about time Schedules
How to say “What time is our English? class?” in Tagalog/Filipino. Anong oras ang klase sa Ingles? [What time is our English class?] So the pattern is: Anong oras + ang + subject The subject could be Science (Agham), Math (Matematika), Psychology (Sikolohiya) etc….
Tagalog Time Chart
1:00 ika-isa 2:00 ikalawa 3:00 ikatlo 4:00 ika-apat 5:00 ika-lima 6:00 ika-anim 7:00 ika-pito 8:00 ika-walo 9:00 ika-siyam 10:00 ika-sampu 11:00 ika-labing-isa 12:00 ika-labindalawa
How to respond to the question using Tagalog/Filipino numerals..
Pretty much the same as Spanish If someone asks “Anong oras na?” Syntax: ika + (Tagalog number) Examples: Ika-isa. [One o’clock.] Ikatlo. [Three o’clock.] Ika-labing-isa. [Eleven o’clock]
Putting it all together..
So far you’ve learned: how to say the Spanish number (una, dos) add the time of day (umaga, tanghali, hapon, madaling-araw) talk about a subject (class) Lets make a complicated sentence!
Tuwing Sabado, | alas diyes y media ng umaga | ang klase ko | sa Agham.
Every Saturday, my class in Science is 10 a.m.
