* '''Pukul berapa?''' -What time is it? (formal)
* '''Jam berapa?''' - What time is it? (informal)

'''Tepat waktu''' - on time.

Indonesia uses 24-hour time format, so use '''pukul 20''' instead of 8 pm.
Because Indonesia is so large there are three time zones: West: Sumatra, Java and surroundings ('''Waktu Indonesia Barat''' <''WIB''>); Central: Bali and surroundings (''Waktu Indonesia Tengah''<''WITA''>); and East: Papua and surroundings ('''Waktu Indonesia Timur''' <''WIT''>). Each zone differs from the next by 1 hour. In spoken indonesian, 12 hour format is prefer to use and adding the time indicator after it.

* 11.00 am = '''11:00 siang'''
* 6.00 pm = '''6:00 sore'''
* 11.00 pm = '''11:00 malam'''

'''"Jam"''' ('''"lit. clock"''') or '''"at time"''', often added before the time (e.g '''"pukul 6 pagi"''' means at 6 am)
In written Indonesian, the 24-hour format is used.

==Minutes==

To say minutes, first, you say ''"the hours"'' then '''"kurang/lebih"''' (lit. less/more) then '''"the minutes"'''.
examples:

* 6.11 = '''enam lebih sebelas''' (lit. six more eleven <minutes>)
* 11.54 = '''duabelas kurang enam''' (lit. twelve less six <minutes>)

use only if the minutes not more or less than 15 minutes, see below.

use the word ''"setengah"'' to say half-hour

examples:

* 6.30 = '''setengah tujuh''' (lit. half seven)
* 11.30 = '''setengah dua belas''' (lit. half twelve)
* 2.31 = '''setengah tiga lebih satu''' (lit. half three more one <minute>)
* 4.25 = '''setengah lima kurang lima''' (lit. half five less five <minutes>)
* 6.16 = '''setengah tujuh kurang empat belas''' (lit. half seven less fourteen <minutes>)
