Learning notes

Explanation

หกโมงเย็น consists of หก “six,” โมง, a word used in telling time, and เย็น “evening.” Together, they refer to 6 p.m., or 18:00. Here, เย็น identifies the part of the day; it does not mean “cool” or “cold.” The expression can be used directly after a verb, or with ตอน as in ตอนหกโมงเย็น, “at 6 p.m.”

Usage

Commonly used when discussing meeting times, the end of work or classes, business hours, departures, and other everyday schedules.

Caution

Do not confuse it with หกโมงเช้า, which means 6 a.m. Omitting เย็น may make the time ambiguous without sufficient context. Formal schedules often use 18.00 น. or สิบแปดนาฬิกา instead.
