To say that it is half past a certain time, we use the word はん (han), which means "half". We add it after the time.
33
はん / 半
"han"; half
34
ふん / 分
"fun"; minute
To say the exact time, we may need to add minutes. "Minute" in Japanese is ふん (fun), but when combined with numbers the first letter often changes. The numbers may also change slightly.
Ex1: 1 minute = いっぷん (ippun) Ex2: 3 minutes = さんぷん (sanpun)
Luckily, we only need to remember those sound changes for the numbers 1-10! The last number right before "minutes" is affected, but everything else stays the same!
Ex1: 34 minutes = さんじゅうよんぷん (sanjuuyonpun)
Ex2: 40 minutes is よんじゅっぷん (yonjuppun)

58
number + さい / 歳
number + "sai"; # years old
To tell someone's age, we add the word さい (sai), which means "years old" after the number.
The same pattern applies to all ages! We only need to watch out for the last digit of the age, especially if it is a 1, 8, or multiple of 10. The only exception is 20 years old, which is はたち (hatachi). ふしぎですね。
