saa

Etymology

From Arabic سَاعَة (sāʕa).

Noun

saa (n class, plural saa)

1. hour
2. clock
3. o'clock (followed by the number in question)

Usage notes

When used to mean an hour, the plural is masaa, in the ma class, to disambiguate from telling time. Times of the day are six hours off from the Western system; the Swahili day starts at 7 am (which becomes 1 o'clock) and the night starts at 7 pm (which becomes 1 o'clock at night).
