In English, we have mornings, afternoons, evenings,and night-times. Korean has at least one extra word for the times of day, though - one I think is very useful.
새벽 - the early morning before sunrise, from about four to six
The other words for the times of day match pretty closely to their English equivalents, as far as I can tell.
아침 - morning (also: 오전)
오후 - afternoon
전녁 - evening
밤 - night
Telling actual time in Korean involves two sets of numbers, so I'll save them for another day.
