Usage notes

點／点 (diǎn) is often used for "o'clock", following the numbered hour: e.g. "three o'clock" is 三點／三点 (sāndiǎn). 點鐘／点钟 (diǎnzhōng) would be used in the expression "1 o'clock" or "2 o'clock", in order to avoid confusion between 一點／一点 (yīdiǎn) (meaning: "a bit") and 一點／一点 (yīdiǎn) (meaning: "1 o'clock"). When spoken out, 一點／一点 (yīdiǎn) (meaning: "1 o'clock") is usually pronounced yī diǎn, without the tone sandhi, while 一點／一点 (yīdiǎn) (meaning: "a bit") is pronounced yì diǎn, following the sandhi rule.

When followed by the minutes, 點／点 (diǎn) is used instead of 點鐘／点钟 (diǎnzhōng) as in 十二點三十分. In formal writing (but not in speech), 時／时 (shí) is used to denote hours, e.g. 十二時三十分.
