点 (traditional 點, pinyin diǎn (dian3), wéi (wei2), Wade-Giles tien³, wei²)

[edit] Compounds

• diǎn
  • 点钟
  • 一点

[edit] Usage notes

点 is often used for "o'clock", following the numbered hour: e.g. "three o'clock" is "三点". Normally 点钟 would be used in the expression "1 o'clock" or "2 o'clock", due to the similarities between 一点 (meaning: "a bit") and 一点 (meaning: "1 o'clock"), but for other hours, the short form is used. Moreover, using 一点 for "1 o'clock" is not grammatically incorrect.
