When expressing time, you can specify the minutes by actually spelling them
out. (Check out Chapter 4 for full coverage of cardinal numbers.) Use the following
format:
as-saa’a + ordinal/hours + wa + cardinal/minutes + daqiiqa
So as-saa’a al-khaamisa wa ‘khamsat daqiiqa (ah-sah-ah al-kah-mee-sah wah
kam-sat dah-kee-kah) means “It’s 5:05.” Here are some other examples:

 as-saa’a ar-raabi’a wa thalaathiin daqiiqa fii al-‘asr. (ah-sah-ah ar-bahah
