o'clock kanji pronunciation 時


Is **時** read as "toki" or "ji"? Duolingo and Google Translate don't seem to
be in agreement.




When following a number 時 is read 'ji'. It is pronounced 'toki' when it refers
to a point in time, in which case it will often take a relative clause that
simply means 'when...' (literally 'the time when...').

When you are looking for a word rather than a whole sentence, you are better
off with dictionaries, for instance
