How do you say “I usually go to bed around 10 pm.” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
I usually go to bed around _ .
いつも _ 時位に寝てるよ。
itsumo _ jiguraini neteruyo
If you want to speak politely, you can say :
いつも _ 時位に寝てます。
itsumo _ jiguraini netemasu
When you want to say “I usually go to bed around _ .”, put the time just before “時 ji”.
“時” means “o’clock”.
- 9 pm ＝ ９時 kuji
- 10 pm ＝ １０時 juuji
- 11 pm ＝ １１時 juuichiji
- 12 am ＝ １２時 juuniji
- 1 am ＝ １時 ichiji
- 2 am ＝ ２時 niji
For example, if you want to say “I usually go to bed around 10 pm.”, you can say like this :
いつも１０時位に寝てるよ。
itsumo juujiguraini neteruyo
Or politely :
いつも１０時位に寝てます。
itsumo juujiguraini netemasu
- I ＝ わたしは watashiwa
- usually ＝ いつも itsumo
- go to bed ＝ 寝てる neteru
- around … ＝ … 位に guraini
We do not usually say “わたしは watashiwa (= I)” in everyday conversation.

_ 時位に

＋
寝てるよ
