ura در ۳۰ ثانیه
- Ura means hour or clock.
- Use for time durations and asking the time.
- Plural forms include 'ure' and 'uri'.
- Context is key to distinguishing meaning.
- Literal Meaning
- The word 'ura' in Slovenian fundamentally refers to a unit of time, specifically an 'hour'. It is also used to refer to a 'clock' itself, the device that tells time.
- Usage as 'Hour'
- As a measure of time, 'ura' is used in various contexts. You'll hear it when discussing durations, schedules, appointments, and the passage of time. For example, 'eno uro' means 'one hour', and 'dve uri' means 'two hours'. The plural form is 'ure' for more than one hour (though 'uri' is also common in spoken language for general quantities).
- Usage as 'Clock'
- 'Ura' also functions as the word for 'clock'. When you ask 'What time is it?', you would say 'Koliko je ura?'. This usage is very common and directly relates to the object that displays the time. So, if someone says 'Poglej uro!' they mean 'Look at the clock!'.
- Contextual Nuances
- The meaning is usually clear from the context. If you are discussing how long something will take, it refers to hours. If you are asking for the current time or referring to the device on the wall or wrist, it refers to a clock. The Slovenian language often uses the singular form 'ura' even when referring to multiple hours in certain idiomatic expressions or when the exact number isn't stressed, but for specific durations, the plural 'ure' or 'uri' is used.
- Everyday Scenarios
- You will encounter 'ura' frequently in daily conversations. It's essential for making plans ('Srečava se čez eno uro.' - We'll meet in one hour.), discussing work schedules ('Delam osem ur na dan.' - I work eight hours a day.), or simply checking the time ('Moja ura ne dela.' - My clock isn't working.). The word is fundamental to understanding Slovenian time-related vocabulary.

Koliko je ura?
- Expressing Duration
- To talk about how long something takes, you'll use 'ura' with a number. For one hour, it's 'ena ura'. For two or more hours, it's 'dve uri' (two hours), 'tri ure' (three hours), 'štiri ure' (four hours), and so on. The plural form changes slightly after two. 'En dan traja 24 ur.' (One day lasts 24 hours.) is a common way to express a full day's duration.
- Asking for the Time
- The most common phrase to ask for the current time is 'Koliko je ura?'. This literally translates to 'How much is the hour?' but functions exactly like 'What time is it?' in English. You might also hear 'Kakšen je čas?' which is more literal for 'What is the time?', but 'Koliko je ura?' is far more prevalent.
- Referring to a Clock or Watch
- When you mean the physical object, 'ura' is used. For example, 'Moja ura je pokvarjena.' (My clock/watch is broken.) or 'Kje je ura?' (Where is the clock?). You can specify a type of clock, like 'stenska ura' (wall clock) or 'ročna ura' (wristwatch).
- Making Appointments and Schedules
- 'Ura' is crucial for scheduling. You'll use prepositions like 'ob' (at) followed by the time in hours. For instance, 'Sestanek je ob devetih urah.' (The meeting is at nine o'clock.) or 'Vlak odpelje ob trinajstih urah.' (The train departs at thirteen o'clock.). Note the use of the locative case for hours when specifying a time.
- General Time Expressions
- You can also use 'ura' in more general statements about time. 'Vsaka ura šteje.' (Every hour counts.) or 'Čas beži, kot da bi bila ura samo minuta.' (Time flies as if an hour were just a minute.) illustrate its use in figurative language.
Potujem dve uri do Ljubljane.
Koliko je ura?
- In Daily Conversations
- 'Ura' is ubiquitous. You'll hear it constantly when people are making plans, discussing their daily routines, or talking about how long something will take. For example, friends might arrange to meet: 'Se vidimo ob sedmih?' (See you at seven o'clock?) or 'Potreboval sem tri ure, da sem dokončal nalogo.' (I needed three hours to finish the assignment.).
- On Public Transport
- Timetables and announcements on buses, trains, and at stations frequently use 'ura' to indicate departure and arrival times. 'Avtobus odpelje ob 14:30 uri.' (The bus departs at 14:30.) is a typical announcement. You'll also hear it in conversations about travel plans.
- In Educational Settings
- Teachers and students use 'ura' when discussing class schedules, the duration of lessons, or homework deadlines. 'Današnja ura angleščine traja 45 minut.' (Today's English hour lasts 45 minutes.) or 'Imamo eno uro časa za izpit.' (We have one hour for the exam.).
- In Media and News
- News reports, especially those concerning events, schedules, or statistics involving time, will use 'ura'. For instance, a report about a sporting event might say: 'Tekma se je začela ob 20. uri.' (The match started at 8 PM.).
- When Referring to Timekeeping Devices
- If someone's watch is fast or slow, or if they need to know the time, they will refer to 'ura'. 'Moja ura zamuja za pet minut.' (My watch is five minutes slow.) or 'Lahko pogledaš, koliko je ura?' (Can you check what time it is?).
Vreme bo lepo, zato bomo ostali zunaj dve uri dlje.
Koliko je ura? Ne zamudim.
- Pluralization Errors
- A common mistake for learners is incorrectly applying the plural form of 'ura'. While 'ena ura' (one hour) is singular, 'dve uri' (two hours), 'tri ure' (three hours), 'štiri ure' (four hours) are plural. However, the standard plural for 'hour' is 'ure', but 'uri' is very commonly used in spoken Slovenian, especially when referring to specific times (e.g., 'ob dveh urah' - at two o'clock). Learners might incorrectly use 'dve ura' or 'tri ura'. Remember that after the number two, the plural form is generally used, and for times, the locative case often leads to 'uri' or 'urah'.
- Confusing 'Hour' and 'Clock' Directly
- While 'ura' means both 'hour' and 'clock', learners might sometimes translate too literally. For instance, if someone says 'Moja ura je pokvarjena' (My clock/watch is broken), a learner might mistakenly think it refers to the abstract concept of an hour being broken, rather than the physical device. Pay attention to context: if it's about a duration, it's 'hour'; if it's about a time-telling object, it's 'clock' or 'watch'.
- Incorrect Usage of Prepositions for Time
- When stating a specific time, the preposition 'ob' is typically used, followed by the hour in the locative case. For example, 'ob eni uri' (at one o'clock), 'ob dveh urah' (at two o'clock), 'ob treh urah' (at three o'clock). Learners might incorrectly use other prepositions or the wrong case, leading to confusion. For durations, prepositions like 'za' (for) or simply stating the duration is more common: 'za dve uri' (for two hours).
- Over-reliance on English Structure
- English speakers might try to directly translate phrases like 'It's an hour ago' or 'In an hour'. In Slovenian, these often require different phrasing. For 'an hour ago', you might say 'pred eno uro' (before one hour). For 'in an hour', it would be 'čez eno uro' (through one hour). Using 'ura' directly in these English structures will sound unnatural.
- Misinterpreting "Koliko je ura?"
- While 'Koliko je ura?' is the standard way to ask 'What time is it?', a literal translation might lead learners to think they need to provide a numerical answer about the 'hour' itself, rather than the current time. Understanding that it's a fixed idiomatic expression for asking the time is key.
Napačno: Delam dve ura na dan. Pravilno: Delam dve uri na dan.
Napačno: Sestanek je v eni uri. Pravilno: Sestanek je čez eno uro.
- 'Čas' (Time)
- 'Čas' is the general word for 'time' in Slovenian. While 'ura' specifically refers to an hour or a clock, 'čas' refers to the concept of time in a broader sense, duration, or a period. You might say 'Imam čas' (I have time), but you wouldn't say 'Imam uro' unless you meant you had an hour free. 'Čas beži' (Time is flying) is a common idiom using 'čas'.
- 'Minuta' (Minute)
- This is another unit of time, 'minute'. Similar to 'ura', it has singular ('minuta') and plural ('minute'/'minut') forms. You would use 'minuta' for durations shorter than an hour. For example, 'Počakaj pet minut.' (Wait five minutes.). You wouldn't use 'ura' for this short a duration.
- 'Dan' (Day)
- 'Dan' means 'day'. A day is composed of 24 hours ('ure'). While 'ura' is a subdivision of a day, 'dan' represents a larger unit. You can talk about 'dnevni urnik' (daily schedule), where 'dnevni' is the adjective related to 'dan' and 'urnik' relates to 'ura' (schedule).
- 'Urnik' (Schedule)
- This noun means 'schedule' or 'timetable'. It is directly derived from 'ura' and refers to a plan of timed events. 'Moj urnik je poln.' (My schedule is full.) uses this related word. It's not a direct synonym but a concept built around 'ura'.
- 'Ura' vs. 'Ura' (Clock)
- The key distinction is context. If someone asks 'Koliko je ura?', they mean 'What time is it?' (referring to the clock). If they say 'Potrebujem dve uri', they mean 'I need two hours' (referring to duration). While the word is the same, the meaning is disambiguated by the surrounding words and the situation.
Čas mineva hitro, ko se zabavamo.
Trajalo je samo deset minut.

نکته جالب
The dual meaning of 'ura' (hour and clock) is common in many languages. For instance, English 'clock' is derived from 'clocca' (bell), but the concept of time itself is often represented by 'hour'. Similarly, French 'heure' is hour, and 'horloge' is clock. The direct borrowing from Latin 'hora' into Slavic languages is a testament to the influence of Roman civilization on timekeeping and measurement.
راهنمای تلفظ
- Pronouncing the 'u' as in 'cut' instead of 'moon'.
- Not rolling or tapping the 'r' sound, making it sound more English.
- Pronouncing the final 'a' too strongly or incorrectly.
- Placing stress on the second syllable.
سطح دشواری
The word 'ura' itself is simple, but understanding its dual meaning and correct usage in various grammatical contexts (especially pluralization and case usage for time) requires practice. Recognizing it in different sentence structures is key for reading comprehension.
Applying the correct plural forms ('ure', 'uri') and using appropriate prepositions and cases ('ob', 'čez', 'pred') when referring to time can be challenging for learners. Distinguishing between 'hour' and 'clock' in writing also requires careful attention to context.
Pronunciation is relatively straightforward, but using 'ura' naturally in conversation, especially in idiomatic phrases and when stating times, needs practice. Hesitation might occur when choosing between 'ure' and 'uri'.
Recognizing 'ura' in spoken Slovenian is generally easy due to its commonality. The main challenge is differentiating its meaning (hour vs. clock) based on context and understanding the nuances of plural forms and specific time expressions.

'Čez eno uro' means 'in one hour' (future). 'Pred eno uro' means 'one hour ago' (past). 'Za dve uri' means 'for two hours' (duration).
Genitive Case for Duration
When referring to a duration without a specific number, the genitive case might be used, though less common for 'ura' than for other nouns. E.g., 'potovanje traja uro' (the journey takes an hour) - though 'eno uro' is more frequent.
Use of 'Čas' vs. 'Ura'
'Čas' is general 'time', 'ura' is specific 'hour' or 'clock'. 'Imam čas' (I have time) vs. 'Imam eno uro' (I have one hour).

This is the plural form of 'ura'. Learners might confuse when to use the singular 'ura' versus the plural 'ure' or 'uri'.

نکات
Mastering Plurals and Cases
Pay close attention to the plural forms of 'ura' ('ure' and the common spoken 'uri') and how they are used with numbers and prepositions like 'ob', 'čez', and 'pred'. Correct usage is key to sounding natural.
Context is King
Always consider the context to determine if 'ura' means 'hour' (duration) or 'clock'/'watch' (device). Phrases like 'Koliko je ura?' clearly indicate asking for the time, while durations will usually have numbers associated with them.
The 'R' Sound
The Slovenian 'r' is typically rolled or tapped. Practice this sound to distinguish it from the softer English 'r', especially when saying 'ura'.
Active Recall
When you learn a new time-related sentence, try to rephrase it in different ways using 'ura'. For example, if you learn 'Potrebujem eno uro', try saying 'Čez eno uro bom tukaj' or 'To traja eno uro'.
Punctuality Matters
In Slovenia, being punctual is valued. Learning to use 'ura' correctly for appointments and schedules will help you navigate social and professional situations effectively.
Connect to Real-Life Clocks
Look at clocks around you and try to say the time in Slovenian using 'ura'. For example, when you see 3:00, say 'Ob treh urah.' This practical application reinforces learning.
Idiomatic Expressions
Familiarize yourself with common idioms like 'ura teče' (time is running out) and 'vsaka ura šteje' (every hour counts) to add depth to your understanding and usage.
Pluralization Pitfalls
Be mindful of the plural forms. Incorrectly using the singular 'ura' when referring to multiple hours is a common error for learners.
Listen for Context Clues
When listening, focus on surrounding words and the overall situation to determine if 'ura' refers to a duration or the actual time on a clock.
Be Confident with Time
Don't be afraid to use 'ura' in your speech. Practicing common phrases like 'Koliko je ura?' and stating durations will build your confidence.

روش یادسپاری
Imagine a person named Ura, who is always punctual. She arrives exactly on the **U**-R-A, and she always tells you the exact time on her watch. So, Ura is associated with time and punctuality. Think of her saying 'It's **U**-R-A time!'
تداعی تصویری
Picture a large, ornate clock face with Roman numerals. As the hour hand points to the 'XII', imagine a person named Ura standing next to it, checking their wristwatch. The image of 'Ura' and the clock together reinforces the dual meaning.

Try to set your own watch or phone to a specific time, say 3 o'clock. Then, say 'Zdaj je ob treh urah.' (It is three o'clock now.) or if you need to wait for 3 hours, say 'Čakam tri ure.' This active practice reinforces the distinction.
ریشه کلمه
The Slovenian word 'ura' originates from the Proto-Slavic word '*ǫra', which itself was borrowed from Latin 'hora'. The Latin word 'hora' referred to 'hour' and also 'time' or 'season'. This borrowing likely occurred during the early period of Slavic contact with Roman culture and language, possibly through intermediary languages or trade routes.
معنای اصلی: In Latin, 'hora' primarily meant 'hour' but also encompassed broader concepts of time, season, and even a division of the day or night.
Indo-European > Balto-Slavic > Slavic > South Slavic > Slovenianبافت فرهنگی
The word 'ura' itself is neutral. However, discussions about time can sometimes be sensitive. For instance, expressing lateness or the passage of time can carry emotional weight depending on the context. Being precise with time expressions is generally appreciated.
In English-speaking countries, 'What time is it?' is the direct equivalent of 'Koliko je ura?'. The concept of an 'hour' as a unit of time is universal, but the specific word and its grammatical usage differ.

سوالات متداول
10 سوال'Ura' is specific: it means either an 'hour' (a unit of time, like one hour or two hours) or a 'clock'/'watch' (the device). 'Čas' is the general word for 'time' in a broader sense, like 'I have time' (Imam čas) or 'Time flies' (Čas beži).
The most common way is 'Koliko je ura?'. This is a set phrase and you should use it as is.
For one hour, it's 'ena ura'. For two hours, it's 'dve uri'. For three hours, it's 'tri ure'. For four hours, it's 'štiri ure', and so on. Note the change from singular 'ura' to plural 'uri'/'ure' after the number two.
You use the preposition 'ob' followed by the hour in the locative case. For example: 'ob eni uri' (at one o'clock), 'ob dveh urah' (at two o'clock), 'ob treh urah' (at three o'clock).
No, 'ura' has two main meanings: 'hour' (unit of time) and 'clock'/'watch' (device). For example, 'Moja ura ne dela' means 'My clock/watch is not working', while 'Potrebujem eno uro' means 'I need one hour'.
The standard plural is 'ure'. However, in spoken Slovenian, especially when referring to specific times (like 'ob dveh urah'), the form 'uri' is very commonly used. Both are generally understood.
'In one hour' is 'čez eno uro'. 'One hour ago' is 'pred eno uro'.
Yes, 'urica' is the diminutive form. It can refer to a small clock or watch, or sometimes figuratively to a short, pleasant hour.
'Urna postavka' translates to 'hourly rate'. It refers to the amount of money charged per hour for a service or work.

Summary
The Slovenian word 'ura' is a versatile term meaning both 'hour' (a unit of time) and 'clock' or 'watch' (a timekeeping device). Mastering its usage is fundamental for discussing schedules, durations, and the current time.
- Ura means hour or clock.
- Use for time durations and asking the time.
- Plural forms include 'ure' and 'uri'.
- Context is key to distinguishing meaning.
Mastering Plurals and Cases
Pay close attention to the plural forms of 'ura' ('ure' and the common spoken 'uri') and how they are used with numbers and prepositions like 'ob', 'čez', and 'pred'. Correct usage is key to sounding natural.
Context is King
Always consider the context to determine if 'ura' means 'hour' (duration) or 'clock'/'watch' (device). Phrases like 'Koliko je ura?' clearly indicate asking for the time, while durations will usually have numbers associated with them.
The 'R' Sound
The Slovenian 'r' is typically rolled or tapped. Practice this sound to distinguish it from the softer English 'r', especially when saying 'ura'.
Active Recall
When you learn a new time-related sentence, try to rephrase it in different ways using 'ura'. For example, if you learn 'Potrebujem eno uro', try saying 'Čez eno uro bom tukaj' or 'To traja eno uro'.
