How to say and ask the time in spanish

First you will need to know the numbers 1-59:

uno=1                       dieciseis=16                treinta y uno=31

dos=2                       diecisiete=17               treinta y dos=32    

tres=3                       dieciocho=18               treinta y tres=33 

cuatro=4                   diecinueve=19             treinta y cuatro=34

cinco=5                     veinte=20                    treinta y cinco=35   

seis=6                       veinteuno=21              treinta y seis=36

siete=7                      veintedós=22              treinta y siete=37

ocho=8                      veintetrés=23              treinta y ocho=38

nueve=9                    veintecuatro=24          treinta y nueve=39

diez=10                     veintecinco=25            cuarenta=40

once=11                    veinteseis=26              cuarenta y uno=41

doce=12                    veintesiete=27             cuarenta y dos=42

trece=13                    veinteocho=28             cuarenta y tres=43

catorce=14                veintenueve=29            cuarenta y cuatro=44

quince=15                 treinta=30                      cuarenta y cinco=45

cuarenta y seis=46

cuarenta y siete=47

cuarenta y ocho=48

cuarenta y nueve=49

cincuenta=50

cincuenta y uno=51

cincuenta y dos=52

cincuenta y tres=53

cincuenta y cuatro=54

cincuenta y cinco=55

cincuenta y seis=56

cincuenta y siete=57

cincuenta y ocho=58

cincuenta y nueve=59

Next we will learn how to ask what time it is:

¿Qué hora es?

¿Qué hora son?

¿Qué hora tiene(s)?

All of these mean the same thing, “What time is it?”

So to begin saying the time you start off with:

Son las

This means “It is”

Then you say the time:

Son las cinco

This means “It is 2:00”

“Son las” applies for all numbers except one. To say its 1:00 you have to say:

Es la una

This also applies with saying 12:00 also:

12:00 AM is Es la medianoche(It’s midnight)

12:00 PM is Es la mediodia(It’s noon)

You can add “Y” after Son las cinco to say the exact minutes:

Son las cinco y treinta y cinco

This means ”It is 5:35”

Here are some simple time shortcuts:

Y cinco= :05

y cuarto= :15 (quarter after)

Menos cuarto= :45 (quarter of)

Y media= :30

Menos cinco= :55

en punto (on the dot)

You can also say “Menos” this will subtract time so you will have to say its 1 hour ahead when its really not an hour ahead, for example:

Son las seis menos cuarto

This is 5:45. You can use “menos” just like “y”

Lastly, we will learn to say the time of day:

de la mañana (in the morning)

de la tarde (in the afternoon)

de la noche (in the evening)

Heres a video of me trying to find out what time my plane back to the U.S.A. from Puerto Rico



This is how you say and ask the time in spanish. I hope you enjoyed this lesson.

One of the first things you need to know about the months and dates of the year is how to say the months and their spelling. *Note: that the months in Spanish are not capitalized!* The months of the year in Spanish is as follows:
*click "Meses" for a link to the months in Spanish*

English: Spanish
January: enero
Feburary: febrero
March: marzo
April: abril
May: mayo
June: junio
July: julio
August: augosto
September: septiembre
October: octubre
November: noviembre
December: diciembre

Lesson 2: Numbers in Spanish
You need to know how to say the numbers in Spanish to say and know what the date is. The following are the numbers 1-10 in Spanish and then 20 and 30.

1. uno
2. dos
3. tres
4. cuatro
5. cinco
6. seis
7. siete
8. ocho
9. nueve
10. diez
20. veinte
30. treinta

Lesson 3: Dates of the Year
In Spanish and many other countries you write the number of the day before you write the month.
To ask the date you would say, "¿Cuàl es la feche de hoy?" 
Also not that to say the date you say, "Es el (numero) de (meses)"
 
The following are some important dates of the year:
Spanish: English:
1-1 Es el uno de enero January 1st
5-5 Es el cinco de mayo May 5th
31-10 Es el treinta y uno de octubre October 31st
25-12 Es el veinticinco de diciembre December 25th
