How do you say “I usually get up at 6 am.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
I usually get up at _ .
いつも _ 時に起きてるよ。
itsumo _ jini okiteruyo
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
いつも _ 時に起きてます。
itsumo _ jini okitemasu
When you want to say “I usually get up at _ .”, put the time just before “時 ji”.
“時” means “o’clock”.
- 5 am ＝ ５時 goji
- 6 am ＝ ６時 rokuji
- 7 am ＝ ７時 shichiji
- 8 am ＝ ８時 hachiji
- 9 am ＝ ９時 kuji
- 10 am ＝ １０時 juuji
For example, if you want to say “I usually get up at 6 am.”, you can say like this :
いつも６時に起きてるよ。
itsumo rokujini okiteruyo
Or politely :
いつも６時に起きてます。
itsumo rokujini okitemasu
- I ＝ わたしは watashiwa
- usually ＝ いつも itsumo
- get up ＝ 起きてる okiteru
- at … ＝ … に ni
We do not usually say “わたしは watashiwa (= I)” in everyday conversation.
いつも
usually
＋
_ 時に
at _
＋
起きてるよ
get up
