What time is it?

Asking for the current time.

🌍

문화적 배경

Punctuality is valued in business but flexible in social settings. Asking 'Soat necha?' is often a way to check if it's time for the next tea round. In the capital, people are more likely to use digital time (e.g., 14:30) when answering, whereas in villages, relative time is more common. Time is often measured by the five daily prayers (Bomdod, Peshin, Asr, Shom, Xufton). 'Soat necha?' might be followed by 'Namozga oz qoldi' (Little time left for prayer). Bazaars usually open very early and close by sunset. Asking the time is crucial for getting the best produce before the stalls close.

Add 'bo'ldi'

⚠️

Don't say 'qancha'

Even though 'time' is a concept, hours are countable. Never use 'qancha' with 'soat'.
