    Confidential

    To tell time in Kiswahili, we simply adjust the english time based on the
    6hour shift system as indicated below;
    Asubuhi-morning(6:00AM to 11:59AM)
    Mchana-Afternoon(12:0PM to3:00pm)
    Alasiri-late Afternoon(3:00PM to 4:59PM)
    Jioni- evening(5:00PM to 5:59AM)
    Usiku- night(7:00pm to5:59 AM)

    In Kiswahili, when referring to minutes to the next hour, we use the


    word ‘Kasoro ( ‘meaning less or minus’)’
    For example;
    1.5:45-saa sita kasoro robo (15minutes to 6:00)
    2.6:50-saa saba kasoro dakika kumi (10minutes to 7:00)
    3.9:40-saa kumi kasoro dakika ishirini (20minutes to 10:00)
    4.11:55-saa kumi na mbili kasoro dakika tano (5minutes to 12:00).
