Hello, I am Sammi. 你好，我叫Sammi. Today we are going to learn how to say the time from 1-6 o’lock in Chinese?

How to say the time from 1-6 o’clock in Mandarin Chinese?

You know how to say the numbers, don’t you?
yī = 1, èr = 2, sān = 3, sì = 4, wǔ = 5, liù = 6

When you say the time in Chinese, you just say:
the number + o’clock

How to say “o’clock” in Chinese?
diǎn (点) = o’clock

So, when you say the time, it’s a bit different from counting the normal numbers. what is the difference? You will find out. Please listen carefully.

yī diǎn (一点) = 1 o’clock
liǎng diǎn（两点） = 2 o’clock
sān diǎn（三点） = 3 o’clock
sì diǎn（四点） = 4 o’clock
wǔ diǎn（五点） = 5 o’clock
liù diǎn（六点）= 6 o’clock
What’ s the difference? When you say “2 o’clock” in Chinese, you don’t say “èr diǎn（二点）”, but you say “liǎng diǎn（两点）”.
èr diǎn（二点） ≠ 2 o’clock
liǎng diǎn（两点） = 2 o’clock

Thank you for watching! See you next time.
