Short lesson in Filipino numbers

Time

Ordinarily, time is not translated in Filipino; we either say it in English or in Spanish (localized) since it’s a lot simpler.

Example: 7:00am
Simply say 7 o’clock am or alas siete while in Filipino it is “ika-pito ng umaga”

Example: 12:50pm
Just say 12:50 pm or alas dose singkwenta while in Filipino, it is “ika-labing dalawa at 50 minuto ng hapon” or “10 minuto bago mag ika-isa ng hapon”
