Dal'qörian Telling the time

back to main page

Dalcurian time is indicated with the 24 hour clock, and mainly denoted by the genitive case dis (see cases). There is no equivalent of am/pm. When written numerically, an uppercase s follows, short for stöndæel-hours.

• 12:15'S 12:15pm

• 4:25'S 4:25am

When spoken:

• pensenta dis dionsenta lit: 15 of [the hour] 12 (the word stöndæel is ommitted in speach)

• hecö'dionta dis tera lit: 25 of [the hour] 4
