Howdy!
How can I telling time in Bahasa?
Well, you don't know how to telling time in Bahasa? Okay, I’ll
help you out.
Time = jam .
Jam
is not exactly the same as the English “o’clock”. “O’clock” is only used in
English to mark the hours and not the divisions of an hour. We say “two
o’clock” but not “two thirty o’clock” or “half past two o’clock”.
In
Indonesian jam is placed in front of all expressions of the time of day. Make
sure you don’t pronounce jam like the English word for a kind of sweet sandwich
spread. The Indonesian word jam has a long /a/ sound and should rhyme with the
English word “arm”. It often sounds like “jum”.
09:00 or nine o’clock (jam sembilan)
