Welcome to the first season! In this one we’ll be studying how to talk about time in Japanese. In this first episode, let’s learn how to ask “What time is it now?”: 今何時ですか (いまなんじですか/ima nan ji desu ka) → 今(いま/ima) means “now”, 何(なん/nan or なに/nani) means “what”, 時(じ/ji) means “hour/o’clock”, です(desu) means “to be” and か(ka) is a question particle, can be replaced by “?”.
