	You've already learned how to tell the time in Turkish using full and half hours.
	In this lesson you will learn how to tell the time more precisely.
</p>

<p>
	To tell that it is a certain amount of minutes <strong>after</strong> the hour, we use the word <strong>geçiyor</strong>,
	and the hour receives an <strong>accusative</strong> case suffix.
</p>

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
			<td>It's five past three. (03:05)</td>
			<td>Saat üç<strong>ü</strong> beş <strong>geçiyor.</strong></td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Literally translated, the sentence above means <strong>Five are passing hour three</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	To tell that it is a certain amount of minutes <strong>before</strong> the hour, we use the word <strong>var</strong>,
	and the hour receives a <strong>dative</strong> case suffix.
</p>

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
			<td>It's twenty minutes to nine. (08:40)</td>
			<td>Saat dokuz<strong>a</strong> yirmi <strong>var</strong>.</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Literally translated, the sentence above means <strong>There are twenty until hour nine</strong>.
</p>

<p>
	For intervals of fifteen minutes we can use the word <strong>çeyrek</strong> instead.
</p>

<table class="ui fixed celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
			<td>It's quarter past ten. (10:15)</td>
			<td>Saat on<strong>u çeyrek</strong> geçiyor.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
			<td>It's quarter to four. (03:45)</td>
			<td>Saat dörd<strong>e çeyrek</strong> var.</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	Stating the time as an adverb, for example saying <strong>at ten past twelve</strong>,
	is done by using <strong>geçe</strong> instead of <strong>geçiyor</strong>, and using <strong>kala</strong> instead of <strong>var</strong>.
</p>
	
<table class="ui fixed celled table">
    <tbody>
        <tr>
			<td>Let's meet at ten past twelve. (12:10)</td>
			<td>(Saat) on iki<strong>yi</strong> on <strong>geçe</strong> buluşalım.</td>
        </tr>
        <tr>
			<td>Be at the door at seven minutes to eight. (07:53)</td>
			<td>(Saat) sekiz<strong>e</strong> yedi <strong>kala</strong> kapıda ol.</td>
        </tr>
    </tbody>
</table>

<p>
	As you can see in these last two sentences, when the time is expressed as an adverb, using <strong>Saat</strong> at the beginning of the sentence is optional.
