TELLING TIME (43 Cards)

READ THIS FIRST: The basics of telling time in Hebrew.
Clock in Hebrew is שעון, sha-on.  Both "hour" and "time" are שעה, sha-ah. "The time" is השעה, ha-sha-ah. "What time is it?" is the same as "What hour is it?" and is מה השעה, ma ha-sha-ah, or  literally, "What the hour?"

When time is within 30 minutes after the hour, the answer to this question gives the time as the hour plus minutes, or the hour plus "quarter" or "half".

Hence, for up to 29 minutes after a certain hour (such as 5:01 - 5:29), the format is "the hour א and ב minutes" where "and" is vav - hence

השעה א וב דקות

Therefore 5:03 would be

השעה חמש ושלוש דקות

or ha-sha-ah xamesh v'shalosh dakot. (Note that if it is just 1 minute after, then it is דקה, dakah.)

5:15 would be 5 and a quarter, hence

השעה חמש ורבע

ha-sha-ah xamesh v'reva (reva means quarter).

5:30 would be

השעה חמש וחצי

ha-sha-ah xamesh v'xetsi (xetsi means half).

GO TO THE NEXT CARD for telling time in the 30 minutes BEFORE a certain hour.

READ THIS SECOND: The basics of telling time in Hebrew
When the time is 31 minutes or more AFTER an hour, such as 4:31 - 4:59, the format for telling the time is "the hour is ב minutes until א hour, where "until" is lamed - hence

השעה ב דקות לא

Therefore 4:57 (3 minutes until 5) would be

השעה שלוש דקות לחמש

or ha-sha-ah shalosh dakot l'xamesh. (Note that if it is just 1 minute before, then it is דקה, dakah.)

4:45 would be a quarter until 5, hence

השעה רבע לחמש

ha-sha-ah reva l'xamesh (reva means quarter).

That's it! With these basics of format in mind, the Hebrew words you need to know are the numbers from 1 to 29, and the words for quarter, half, hour and minute(s). This set of cards has all of these, plus a few practice times from Hebrew to English and English to Hebrew. So,
