Note:

Dizionario Italiano-Inglese > meno
8 The clock

What time is it?

In timetables etc., the twenty-four hour clock is used, so that 4 pm is seize heures. In ordinary usage, one says quatre heures (de l’après-midi).

what time is it?

= quelle heure est-il?

my watch says five o’clock

= il est cinq heures à ma montre

could you tell me the time?

= pouvez-vous me donner l’heure?

it’s exactly four o’clock

= il est quatre heures juste or il est exactement quatre heures

it’s about four

= il est environ quatre heures

it’s almost three o’clock

= il est presque trois heures

it’s just before six o’clock

= il va être six heures

it’s just after five o’clock

= il est à peine plus de cinq heures

it’s gone five

= il est cinq heures passées

When?

French never drops the word heures: at five is à cinq heures and so on.

French always uses à, whether or not English includes the word at. The only exception is when there is another preposition present, as in vers cinq heures (towards five o’clock), avant cinq heures (before five o’clock) etc.

what time did it happen?

= à quelle heure cela s’est-il passé?

what time will he come at?

= à quelle heure va-t-il venir?

it happened at two o’clock

= c’est arrivé à deux heures

he’ll come at four

= il viendra à quatre heures

at ten past four

= à quatre heures dix

at half past eight

= à huit heures et demie

at three o’clock exactly

= à trois heures précises

at about five

= vers cinq heures or à cinq heures environ

at five at the latest

= à cinq heures au plus tard

a little after nine

= un peu après neuf heures

it must be ready by ten

= il faut que ce soit prêt avant dix heures

I’ll be here until 6 pm

= je serai là jusqu’à six heures du soir

I won’t be here until 6 pm

= je ne serai pas là avant six heures du soir

it lasts from seven till nine

= cela dure de sept à neuf heures

closed from 1 to 2 pm

= fermé entre treize et quatorze heures

every hour on the hour

= toutes les heures à l’heure juste

at ten past every hour

= toutes les heures à dix

† This fuller form is possible in all similar cases in this list. It is used only in ‘official’ styles.

‡ Quatre heures et quart sounds less official than quatre heures quinze ( and similarly et demie and moins le quart are the less official forms). The demie and quart forms are not used with the 24-hour clock.

§ Demi agrees when it follows its noun, but not when it comes before the noun to which it is hyphenated, e.g. quatre heures et demie but les demi-heures etc. Note that midi and minuit are masculine, so midi et demi and minuit et demi.

1000000000 un milliard‡‡

1000000000000 un billion‡‡

* In English 0 may be called nought, zero or even nothing ; French is always zéro ; a nought = un zéro.

† Note that one is une in French when it agrees with a feminine noun, so un crayon but une table, une des tables, vingt et une tables, combien de tables? - il y en a une seule etc.

‡ Also huitante in Switzerland. Note that when 80 is used as a page number it has no s, e.g. page eighty = page quatre-vingt.

§ Note that vingt has no s when it is in the middle of a number. The only exception to this rule is when quatre-vingts is followed by millions, milliards or billions, e.g. quatre-vingts millions, quatre-vingts billions etc.

Note that cent does not take an s when it is in the middle of a number. The only exception to this rule is when it is followed by millions, milliards or billions, e.g. trois cents millions, six cents billions etc. It has a normal plural when it modifies other nouns, e.g. 200 inhabitants = deux cents habitants.

|| Note that figures in French are set out differently ; where English would have a comma, French has simply a space. It is also possible in French to use a full stop (period) here, e.g. 1.000. French, like English, writes dates without any separation between thousands and hundreds, e.g. in 1995 = en 1995.

** When such a figure refers to a date, the spelling mil is preferred to mille, i.e. en 1200 = en mil deux cents. Note however the exceptions: when the year is a round number of thousands, the spelling is always mille, so en l’an mille, en l’an deux mille etc.

†† Mille is invariable ; it never takes an s.

‡‡ Note that the French words million, milliard and billion are nouns, and when written out in full they take de before another noun, e.g. a million inhabitants is un million d’habitants, a billion francs is un billion de francs. However, when written in figures, 1,000,000 inhabitants is 1000000 habitants, but is still spoken as un million d’habitants. When million etc. is part of a complex number, de is not used before the nouns, e.g. 6,000,210 people = six millions deux cent dix personnes.

Use of en

Note the use of en in the following examples:

there are six

= il y en a six

I’ve got a hundred

= j’en ai cent

En must be used when the thing you are talking about is not expressed (the French says literally there of them are six, I of them have a hundred etc.). However, en is not needed when the object is specified:

there are six apples

= il y a six pommes

Approximate numbers

When you want to say about…, remember the French ending -aine:

about ten

= une dizaine

about ten books

= une dizaine de livres

about fifteen

= une quinzaine

about fifteen people

= une quinzaine de personnes

about twenty

= une vingtaine

about twenty hours

= une vingtaine d’heures

Similarly une trentaine, une quarantaine, une cinquantaine, une soixantaine and une centaine ( and une douzaine means a dozen). For other numbers, use environ (about):

about thirty-five

= environ trente-cinq

about thirty-five francs

= environ trente-cinq francs

about four thousand

= environ quatre mille

about four thousand pages

= environ quatre mille pages

Environ can be used with any number: environ dix, environ quinze etc. are as good as une dizaine, une quinzaine etc.

Note the use of centaines and milliers to express approximate quantities:

hundreds of books

= des centaines de livres

I’ve got hundreds

= j’en ai des centaines

hundreds and hundreds of fish

= des centaines et des centaines de poissons

I’ve got thousands

= j’en ai des milliers

thousands of books

= des milliers de livres

thousands and thousands

= des milliers et des milliers

millions and millions

= des millions et des millions

Phrases

numbers up to ten

= les nombres jusqu’à dix

to count up to ten

= compter jusqu’à dix

almost ten

= presque dix

less than ten

= moins de dix

more than ten

= plus de dix

all ten of them

= tous les dix

all ten boys

= les dix garçons

Note the French word order:

my last ten pounds

= mes dix dernières livres

the next twelve weeks

= les douze prochaines semaines

the other two

= les deux autres

the last four

= les quatre derniers

Calculations in French

Decimals in French

1,000th 1000e millième

2,000th 2000e deux millième

1,000,000th 1000000e millionième

Like English, French makes nouns by adding the definite article:

the first

= le premier (or la première, or les premiers mpl or les premières fpl)

the second

= le second (or la seconde etc.)

the first three

= les trois premiers or les trois premières

Note the French word order in:

the third richest country in the world

= le troisième pays le plus riche du monde

* Note that half, when not a fraction, is translated by the noun moitié or the adjective demi ; see the dictionary entry.

† Note the use of les and d’entre when these fractions are used about a group of people or things: two-thirds of them = les deux tiers d’entre eux.

‡ This is the masculine form ; the feminine is 1re and the plural 1ers (m) or 1res (f).

§ All the ordinal numbers in French behave like ordinary adjectives and take normal plural endings where appropriate.

¶ Also huitantième in Switzerland.
