7:00 in Spanish: Las Siete
Las Siete · noun phrase · lahs see-EH-teh
Seven o'clock is expressed as 'las siete' in Spanish, using the feminine plural article 'las' because it refers to 'las horas' (the hours). Adding 'en punto' specifies that it is exactly on the hour. Spanish time-telling always uses 'las' for hours except one o'clock, which takes 'la.'
Pronounce 'siete' as see-EH-teh with three distinct syllables. The stress falls on the middle syllable 'EH,' and the final 'e' is a soft, short sound.
La reunión empieza a las siete.
The meeting starts at seven.

Common Questions About 7 00 in Spanish
- Do I use 'de la mañana' or 'de la noche' with 'las siete'?
- Seven o'clock falls in a transition zone where both phrases apply depending on season and context. Generally, 'las siete de la mañana' refers to 7 AM and 'las siete de la noche' to 7 PM, since Spanish uses contextual phrases rather than a 24-hour clock in everyday speech.
- How do I say 7:30 in Spanish?
- Half past seven is 'las siete y media,' where 'media' literally means 'half' and refers to half of the following hour. This pattern works for any hour: simply add 'y media' after the hour number.
- Why is the article 'las' plural for seven o'clock?
- The article agrees with the implied noun 'horas' (hours), which is feminine and plural for every hour except one. Only 'la una' (one o'clock) takes the singular feminine article because it refers to a single hour.
