Hindi/Time

Since there is no equivalent of AM or PM in Hindi we have to mention the time of the day along with the specific clock time. For example if we have to say 3 AM, the Hindi equivalent will be रात के/में तीन बजे which literally means 3 o'clock of/in night.

There are two exceptions to the Half past. Half past one (1:30) is डेढ़ (ḍēr̥h) and half past 2 (2:30) is ढाई (ḍhāī). A fun way to remember their order would be 'Unless you dare (Let's say this represents डेढ़) you die (and this represents ढाई). Voila!
