Once you have learnt the Numbers the full hours are formed by adding uur 'hour' to the number.
| What time is it? | Hoe laat is dit? |
| It is one o'clock | Dit is eenuur |
| It is two o'clock | Dit is twee-uur |
| It is three o'clock | Dit is drie-uur |
| It is four o'clock | Dit is vieruur |
| It is five o'clock | Dit is vyfuur |
| It is six o'clock | Dit is sesuur |
| It is seven o'clock | Dit is sewe-uur |
| It is eight o'clock | Dit is agtuur |
| It is nine o'clock | Dit is nege-uur |
| It is ten o'clock | Dit is tienuur |
| It is eleven o'clock | Dit is elfuur |
| It is twelve o'clock | Dit is twaalfuur |
Half 'half' is added to the appropriate number to make the half hour.
Afrikaans uses the hour ahead on telling the half-hour. So half past two becomes Half drie and uses drie instead of twee as we would in English.
Use voor for 'to' and oor for 'past'.
Oor means 'over' making it easy to remember.
| Half past two | Half drie |
| Half past three | Half vier |
| Half past nine | Half tien |
| Half past twelve | Half een |
| Quarter past twelve | Kwart oor twaalf |
| Quarter past four | Kwart oor vier |
| Quarter past eight | Kwart oor agt |
| Quarter to one | Kwart voor een |
| Quarter to five | Kwart voor vyf |
| Quarter to ten | Kwart voor tien |
| Quarter to eleven | Kwart voor elf |
| Quarter to twelve | Kwart voor twaalf |
