Now that you have reviewed the numbers, let's move on to telling time in Tigrinya.

== Telling Time ==
To tell time in Tigrinya, we use the word "መደመር" (medemer), which means "time".

=== Asking What Time It Is ===
To ask what time it is in Tigrinya, you can say "መደመር ኣብ ዘለዎ ሰዓት ነዎ?" (medemer ab zelewo se'at newo?). This question means "What time is it?"

Here is a breakdown of the question:

* "መደመር" (medemer) - time
* "ኣብ" (ab) - at
* "ዘለዎ" (zelewo) - this, now
* "ሰዓት" (se'at) - hour
* "ነዎ" (newo) - is

In response, you can answer with the following:

* "ኣቦ ኣብ ዘለዎ ሰዓት ..." (abo ab zelewo se'at ...) - It's ... o'clock now.

Note that "ኣቦ" (abo) means "it is".

Here are some examples:

* መደመር ኣብ ዘለዎ ሰዓት ነዎ? (medemer ab zelewo se'at newo?) - What time is it now?
* ኣቦ ኣብ ዘለዎ ሰዓት ካልእ (abo ab zelewo se'at kalle?) - It's 1 o'clock.
* ኣቦ ኣብ ዘለዎ ሰዓት ስልክ ከም ስልኩ 'ነዎ (abo ab zelewo se'at səlki kəm səlk'u newo) - It's 2:15.

=== Talking About Hours ===
To talk about hours in Tigrinya, we use "ሰዓት" (se'at), which means "hour".

Here are some examples:

* ኣቦ ሰዓት ፩ ከተማ ዘለዎ ካልእ (abo se'at 1 katama zelewo kalle) - It's 1 o'clock in the morning.
* ኣቦ ሰዓት ፪ ከተማ ምስራቅ ዘለዎ ካልእ (abo se'at 2 katama məsraḳ zelewo kalle) - It's 7 o'clock in the evening.

=== Talking About Minutes ===
To talk about minutes in Tigrinya, we use "ደቒቕ" (dek'ik), which means "minute".

Here are some examples:

* ኣቦ ሰዓት ፸ ደቒቕ ካልእ (abo se'at 6 dek'ik kalle) - It's 6 minutes past the hour.
* ኣቦ ሰዓት ፲፱ ደቒቕ ወዲ ሰዓት ፪ ካልእ (abo se'at 15 dek'ik we'di se'at 2 kalle) - It's 15 minutes to 2 o'clock.
