Telling time in Russian can be a bit tricky, but once you learn the basics it’s not so hard! In Russian, they use the 24-hour clock system, so instead of saying “3 o’clock,” they would say “15 o’clock.” To say the time, you typically start with the hour, followed by the word “часов” (chasov) for hours or “минут” (minut) for minutes. For example, 3:15 would be “15 часов 15 минут.” Remembering the numbers in Russian is the key to telling time correctly, so practice those numbers and you’ll be telling time like a pro in no time!
