Talking About the Scheduled Time

何時ですか [nan ji desu ka]
What time is it?

• 何時 [nan ji] means "how many hours"
• ですか [desu ka] means "is it?"
• Literally means "how many hours, is it?"

The counter for hours is 時 [ji] and the counter for minutes is 分 [fun].
Mostly use Chinese number for telling time.

3時です [san ji desu]
It's 3 o'clock.

• 3時 [san ji] means "3 o'clock"
• です [desu] means "it is"

3時29分です [san ji ni jū kyū fun desu]
It's 3:29.

• 3時 [san ji] means "3 o'clock"
• 29分 [ni jū kyū fun] means "29 minutes"

For some minutes the counter ふん [fun] becomes ぷん [pun]

• いっぷん [i ppun] one minute
• さんぷん [san pun] three minutes
• よんぷん [yon pun] four minutes
• ろっぷん [rok pun] six minutes
• はっぷん [hap pun] or はちふん [hachi fun] eight minutes

Two of the minutes use native Japanese numbers rather than Chinese numbers.

• よんぷん [yon pun] four minutes
• ななふん [nana fun] seven minutes
