More about Saat

Saat is the clock and the hour it shows. Ask the time with it, Saat chand-e? (what time is it?), and answer with the hour: Saat do-e is two o'clock. The memory hook says it is the clock on the wall and the hour together, so one word does both jobs. It is taught in Module 14, lesson 1, in the lesson called The backstage clock. You also hear it right after a thank-you, as in Merci! Saat chand-e? It pairs with Nim (half) and Rob (quarter), so it is a good anchor word for telling the time.
