Question

I can not find any it says the time not the hour I am looking how do you say 6:17 in spanish written out

Is this for time or for something like a chapter and verse? - katydew, Apr 30, 2013

Answer 1

To be more precise, to say "it is 6:17", you would say "son las seis y dieciséis."

For more than 30 minutes past the hour, you can use "menos". For example, 6:40 can also be said "siete menos veinte" - "seven minus twenty", or as we would say it, "twenty to seven".

Lastly, used "cuarto" for 15 minutes.

Answer 2

If you type in numbers like this into the SD translator it will give you the answer to your question and a sound icon to be able to pronounce it. Great option on this site.

Answer 3

You say the time as the number of the hour and the number of minutes. So 6:17 would be seis y dieciséis.
