Time is expressed officially with the 24-hour clock. In writing, hours and minutes are separated by a colon or by a lowercase letter ''sy'' (standing for ''syaht(i)'' "hour(s)"), e.g. 11:23 or 11sy23 (cf. Latin script notations such as 11h23). In speech, 24-hour times are spoken as ''11 syahti 23'' (''nyastasyam syahti tisyardílásti''), with a masculine numeral for the hours (implying masculine ''syaht'') and a feminine one for the minutes (implying feminine ''dakíká'').<br/>In speech, unless precision is needed, a form of 12-hour clock is used, however it is never written unless each word is spelled.
