Parts of the Day
Name the part of the day with matin, aprèp-miègjorn, ser or nuèch.
How It Works
The day has four parts, and each is a noun with an article.
| Occitan | English |
|---|---|
| lo matin | the morning |
| l'aprèp-miègjorn | the afternoon |
| lo ser | the evening |
| la nuèch | the night |
| a miègjorn | at noon |
With the article alone, the noun says when a routine happens: Trabalhi lo matin. For the night, de nuèch is common: Dormissi de nuèch (I sleep at night). With a clock time, de joins the hour to the part of the day, and de and lo become del: sièis oras del matin (six in the morning). Only nuèch is feminine here.
