one o'clock PM

9/28

_____ years

_____ ani (AHN-ee; the last syllable almost vanishes)

Note: For all of the above, the correct, literary way to express duration is by sayinguna ora, una ziua, una saptamâna... instead of o ora, o ziua, o saptamâna, but this is

never really used in speech, even if the context is very formal. Therefore, it is mucheasier to learn that o is used to express one or a in the case of minute, hour, month,

etc, not una. This is because all of these nouns are feminine. With year, which ismasculine, un is used (as in, un an - one year).
