Time

Question 1

Time
Hour
Minute

Answer 1

Time = Samayam / Neram = Samay Yem / Nay Rem

Hour = Manikoor = Manikur
1 Hour = Oru Manikoor = Orre Manikur
Minute = Nimisham = Nimishem
1 Minute = Oru Nimisham = Orre Nimishem

• We have studied numbers in previous classes, if we go by that, by right 1 hour should be Onne Manikur but it is not so. 2 Hours onwards is the same as in numbers

Question 2

15 Minutes

Answer 2

15 Minutes = Pathinanjju ( 15 ) + Nimisham ( Minutes ) = Padi Nanje Nimishem

or

15 Minutes = Kaal ( 1/4 ) + Manikoor ( Hour ) = Kaa Manikur

• In the word “ Kaal “, L is silent so it is just Kaa
• Can just say Minutes itself instead of Nimisham as it is used less frequently

Question 2

30 Minutes

Answer 2

30 Minutes = Mupathu ( 30 ) + Nimisham ( Minutes ) = Mooppadhe Nimishem

or

30 Minutes = Ara ( 1/2 ) + Manikoor ( Hour ) = Ara Manikur

• Can just say Minutes itself instead of Nimisham as it is used less frequently

Question 3

45 Minutes

Answer 3

45 Minutes = Nalpathi ( 40 ) + Anjju ( 5 ) + Nimisham ( Minutes ) = Nalpathi Anje Nimishem

or

45 Minutes = Mukkal ( 3/4 ) + Manikoor ( Hour ) = Mukka Manikoor

• In the word “ Mukkal “, L is silent so it is just Mukka
• Can just say Minutes itself instead of Nimisham as it is used less frequently

Question 4

What is the time ?

Answer 4

Samayam Ethrayayi = Samayem Ethrayayi

or

Mani Ethrayayi = Money Ethrayayi

or

Neram Ethrayayi = Nayrem Ethrayayi

• Or, we can substitue the word “ Ethrayayi “ with the word “ Enthayi “ in all of the following

Now = Ippol = Ippol

What is the time now ? = Ippol ( Now ) + Samayam ( Time ) + Ethrayayi ( What is ) = Ippol Samayem Ethrayayi

Question 5

7.00
7.15
7.30
8.45
2.25

Answer 5

7.00 = Ezhu ( 7 ) + Mani = Ayy Re Money

7.15 = Ezhu ( 7 ) + Kaal (1/4 ) = Ayy Re Kaal
7.15 = Ezhu ( 7 ) + Pathinanju ( 15 ) = Ayy Re Padi Nanje

7.30 = Ezhu ( 7 ) + Ara ( 1/2 ) = Ayy Re Ara
7.30 = Ezhu ( 7 ) + Mupadhu ( 30 ) = Ayy Re Mooppadhe

8.45 = Ettu ( 8 ) + Mukkal ( 3/4 ) = Eight Te Mukkal
8.45 = Ettu ( 8 ) + Nalpathi ( 40 ) + Anjju ( 5 ) = Eight Te Nalpadhe Anje

12.25 = Pathrandu ( 12 ) + Irupathu ( 20 ) + Anjju ( 5 ) = Pandh Rande Irupathe Anje

Good Day = Shubhadhinam = Shubadinem

Good Night = Shubharathri = Shubarathri

Question 8

Bad time = Cheetha Neram / Cheetha Samayam = Cheetha Nayrem / Cheetha Samayyem

Question 9

Period / Era
Old Times
New Times
