Clock time

In common speech 12 hour clock is used. 24 hour clock is used in announcements, schedules, formal statements and situations where misunderstanding may arise.

one o'clock AM
један сат. jedan sat (YEH-dahn saht)
two o'clock AM
два сата. dva sata (dvah SAH-tah)

NOTE: There is no exact equivalence of AM and PM, since 12 hour clock is used mainly in common speech. Therefore "one o'clock AM" in Serbian would be stated as "one o'clock past midnight" and 7 AM as "seven in the morning". Likewise, "one o'clock PM" is "one o'clock in the afternoon" and 9 PM would be "nine o'clock in the evening".
