TIME AND SPACE
We all are
busy people, and we often check the time. Actually, we check
the time on
quite a regular basis even on those rare occasions when we have nothing to do at all.
For this purpose we use a watch or a clock. In Russian there is one generic
term for this
wonderful instrument:
часы.
As an instrument for measuring the time, this word exists only in the plural form.
However, the same word can mean "hours", and in that sense it also exists in the
singular:
час.
Apart from the general term
часы, you can specify:
3.
наручные часы, if you wear
it on the wrist на руке. (Please note that the
Russian word
рука means "arm" or "hand", not "wrist".)
4.
карманные часы, if you carry it in the pocket
в кармане.
