¿Qué hora es en país vuestros?

Question

I'm trying to ask: What's the time in your countries?

Aquí, en Suecia, son las once y cincuenta y cinco de la noche.

I'm sorry for the really simple level of spanish. I'm a beginner so feel free to correct my spanish.

Answer 1

A nice try, but it's not correct. You would like to say,

¿Qué hora es en sus países?

sus is the posessive pronoun meaning "your" and the word countries has to take the plural form.

Thanks for correcting me :) - Charlene832, Feb 4, 2011

I should have said nohing wrong with vuestro(s) expect that it should match the number of the noun. - 0074b507, Feb 4, 2011

Answer 2

Cathy's answer is perfect just a little note, instead of saying:

Aquí, en Suecia, son las once y cincuenta y cinco de la noche.

You can simply say : Aquí en Suecia, son las doce menos cinco

Both sentences are correct so feel fry to use the one you like

Thanks, they didn't teach me that in the beginners class. Your version seems more reasonable :) - Charlene832, Feb 4, 2011

Yes but when you are communicating with people on the internet worldwide you definately need to indicate wether it is a.m. or p.m unless you are quoting the 24 hour clock time. - kenwilliams, Feb 4, 2011

Answer 3

¿ qué hora es en sus países ustedes? Aquí en suecia son las doce menos cinco? Aqui en Barcelona tambien son las doce menos cinco de la noche. Here in Barcelona It is also five minutes to twelve at night.

Should I write es before son in the sentence: Aquí en suecia son las doce menos cinco? - Charlene832, Feb 4, 2011

Come to think of it I don't think you need es, only when it is one oclock es la una menos cinco etc. all the other numbers are plural so you need son I had better correct my post thank you for pointing it out. - kenwilliams, Feb 4, 2011
