3 30 Pm In Spanish

Decir la hora

Telling time in Spanish Knowing how to tell time is essential for traveling, coming together upwardly with friends, making appointments, and getting to work or schoolhouse on fourth dimension. Once you learn these formulas, you'll never have an excuse to be late again!

Spanish time

There are three Spanish translations for "time," each with a different meaning.

*la ora*	time as in telling fourth dimension
¿Qué hora es?	What fourth dimension is information technology?
*el tiempo*	time as in a menstruation of time
Pasé algún tiempo aquí.	I spent some time here.
*la vez*	time as in case
Lo hice una vez.	I did it once.

Only hora is needed for this lesson – when telling time, information technology's equivalent to "o'clock."

Telling fourth dimension in Spanish

To inquire "What time is it?" you need the verb ser (to be) in the third person singular:

¿Qué hora es?

When answering the question, you utilise the singular conjugation only for one o'clock, apex, and midnight:

For two o'clock and up, the verb has to be plural, as does the definite commodity:

Information technology's two o'clock	Son las dos.	02:00 h.
Information technology'due south 3:30	Son las tres y media. Son las tres y treinta.	03:thirty h.
It'south four:fifteen	Son las cuatro y cuarto. Son las cuatro y quince.	04:15 h.
It'southward 4:45	Son las cinco menos cuarto. Son las cinco menos quince. Son las cuatro y cuarenta y cinco.	04:45 h.
It'south 5:10	Son las cinco y diez.	05:10 h.
Information technology's 6:50	Son las siete menos diez. Son las seis y cincuenta.	06:50 h.
It'southward 7 a.m.	Son las siete de la mañana.	07:00 h.
It'due south 3 p.m.	Son las tres de la tarde. Son las quince.	fifteen:00 h.

It's 12 noon	Son las doce de día.	12:00 h.
It's midnight	Son las doce de la noche.	00:00 h.

Note

Spanish doesn't have perfect equivalents for "a.grand." and "p.one thousand." You lot tin can utilize de la mañana for am, de la tarde from noon until vi p.g., and de la noche from 6 p.1000. until midnight, but fourth dimension is unremarkably expressed on a 24-hour clock. Thus 3pm would exist translated as las quince or 15:00 h.
