Telling time is easy. (Asking the time is more complicated!) Clock time
is just a time stamp:
vagh rep bImejnIS.
Check out time is five a.m. (CK)
("You must leave at five hundred hours.")
It works the same way as larger units of time:
wa'leS jIchegh.
Tomorrow I will return. (KGT)
Thus:
wa'maH Hutvatlh rep HIghom!
Meet me at seven p.m. (nineteen hundred hours)!
And you can combine a time with a place stamp. E.g.:
wa'maH Hutvatlh rep tachDaq HIghom!
Meet me in the bar at seven p.m.!
