زمینه فرهنگی

In Korea, the 24-hour clock is widely used for all official schedules, including TV guides and bus apps. However, when speaking, people almost always convert it to a 12-hour format with '오전' or '오후'. Punctuality is paramount. Arriving at '네 시 정각' (4:00 sharp) actually means being there at 3:55. Arriving exactly at 4:00 can sometimes be perceived as being slightly late. Younger Koreans often use '반' (half) almost exclusively for 30-minute marks, and they might omit '분' in very casual texting (e.g., '7시 10분' becomes '7시 10'). In the Korean military, time is stated with extreme precision and often uses the '-입니다' form. Soldiers are trained to report time using the 24-hour system even when speaking.

🎯

The 1, 2, 3, 4 Rule

Always remember that 하나, 둘, 셋, 넷 become 한, 두, 세, 네. This is the #1 thing teachers look for in A1 students.

⚠️

Don't say 'Zero'

For times like 2:05, don't say '공' (zero). Just say '두 시 오 분'. Adding '공' sounds like you are reading a phone number.

It's a historical blend. Native numbers are used for 'counting' hours, while Sino numbers are used for 'calculating' precise minutes.

12:00 PM is '정오' (noon) and 12:00 AM is '자정' (midnight). You can also say '오후 열두 시' and '오전 열두 시'.

Only in very specific 24-hour military or broadcast contexts. In daily life, it sounds very wrong.

Yes, in spoken conversation, '반' is much more common and sounds more natural.
