Telling Time In Albanian: 2 Best Ways

Telling time in Albanian is important to learn because it is a skill that you will use throughout your life, especially if you’re moving to Albania. You will need to know how to tell the time when you are scheduling appointments, making travel arrangements, or just checking the time on the clock so that you don’t miss your train. In today’s post, we’ll walk you through the best ways how to do this like a real native speaker. Let’s get started!

The word for time in Albanian is koha, but while asking for the time, the word ora is used. Time is a crucial aspect of our lives, and we use it on a daily basis. Time is not only important for us but also for the whole world, and every culture has its own way of telling the time. In this guide, we’ll learn how to tell the time in Albanian and which words are used when talking about time.

Asking And Telling Time In Albanian

Asking and telling time in Albanian is pretty simple. To ask, “What time is it?” you should say Sa është ora? Literally, sa means how është means it is/is it and ora implies time. Simple right? Telling time to someone is even simpler.

To tell time, there are two significant ways. The first one is by adding a number after ora është. For example, ora është nëntë means it’s nine o’clock. Another way that you can tell time is by adding an Arabic numeral after Është, for instance, Është ora 6, meaning It’s six o’clock.

Let’s look at more sentences.
