If you know the numbers in Japanese, you can quickly figure out how to ask and tell the time. ji (時) is the word for time; pun or fun (分) is the word for minute.
Listen to some time expressions in Japanese

It's two o'clock. ni-ji desu 二時です
It's ten o'clock. jyu-ji desu 十時です
It's two twenty. ni-ji nijupun desu 二時二十分です
It's ten twenty-five. jyu-ji nijugofun desu 十時二十五分
