What
time is it?
by
E. Wampuszyc
In
Polish, telling time requires you to count the hours of the
day using ORDINAL
numbers (pierwsza godzina, druga godzina, trzecia godzina,
etc…). The minutes, on the other hand, are always expressed
using CARDINAL
numbers.
You
can tell time in Polish formally (using the formal 24-hour
clock) or informally (using the 12 hour clock). Click on the
following links for examples on how to tell time.
