What does Son las nueve menos diez de la manana mean in English?

Answer 1

Son las nueve menos diez de la manana means...It is 8.50 am. In spanish you can say...son las ocho y cincuenta or faltan diez minutos para las nueve or son las nueve menos diez. It is the same meaning.

Answer 2

This means "It is 11:30." This is how you speak of the time in Spanish. 'Son las' indicates you are about to tell the time of an hour that is after 1:00 (which would be 'Es el'); 'once' means 11; 'y media' means 'and half' - It is 11 and a half. It is 11:30.

Answer 3

It is 6:10 AM. The Spanish terminology refers to "horas", or hours, so the verb (ser) must be plural. Literally what it means is "they are six (hours) and ten (minutes) in the morning."The only difference in the phraseology is when you speak of one o'clock. Since this a singular hour, the term is "es la una."

Answer 4

This is describing time in traditional Spanish (most commonly taught schools).

To do this you state the hour and time. For example, 2:15 would be Son las dos y quince. HOWEVER when you exceed the thirty minute mark, traditional Spanish dictates that you go up to the next hour and verbally subtract the time. For example, 2:31 would be Son las tres menos veintinueve. (meaning 3 minus 29 minutes).

de la manana, de la tarde, and de la nochemean in the morning, in the afternoon, and in the evening respectively.

So Son las nueve menos veinte de la manana means "It is 8:40 in the the morning."

Answer 5

"Son las siete menos diez de la mañana" is a sentence about time. "Son las siete" means"it's seven o'clock", but "menos diez" means "minus ten", so it's actually ten to seven, or 6:50. "De la mañana" indicates that it's morning. So it's 6:50 A.M.

Answer 6

It's a quarter past seven in the morning.

Answer 7

6:30

Answer 8

It is 10 til nine in the morning
