how to say "it is 8 a.m" in japanese hiragana
In Japanese hiragana, "it is 8 a.m" is written as:
「午前8時です」(ごぜんはちじです)
To say "it is 8 a.m." in Japanese using hiragana, you would write:
「ごぜんはちじです」
or
「午前8時です」
In hiragana, it would be written as "ごぜんはちじです".
To say "it is 8 a.m." in Japanese using hiragana, you would write it as "ごぜんはちじです" (gozen hachi ji desu).
Here's a breakdown of each part:
- "ごぜん" (gozen) means "a.m." or "morning" in Japanese.
- "はちじ" (hachi ji) means "8 o'clock" in Japanese.
- "です" (desu) is a polite copula that is commonly used in Japanese to indicate a state or to connect the subject and the predicate.
To arrive at this translation, you can break down the sentence into its components:
1. "It" refers to the time, so we need to use the expression "a.m." in Japanese, which is "ごぜん" (gozen).
2. "8" can be expressed as "はち" (hachi) in Japanese.
3. "a.m." and "8 o'clock" can be combined as "はちじ" (hachi ji).
4. Finally, we add "です" (desu) at the end to make the sentence grammatically correct and polite.
Remember that hiragana is primarily used for native Japanese words, particles, and for providing phonetic readings, while kanji is used for nouns, verbs, and adjectives. So, in this case, writing "ごぜんはちじです" with hiragana ensures that it is spelled out phonetically in Japanese.
