Konnichiwa
o genki des ka
In the japanese audio course I notice that when you want to say "its time for karaoke" you say:
"ima kara karaoke jikan des yo"
But when your saying "one hour" you say:
inchi jikan.
Is jikan both time and hour?
time

The usages of JIKAN...
By itself: *JIKAN* means _TIME_
When *JIKAN* is tacked onto a numeral value, it specifies _HOURS_.
In such case, the *JI* refers to the English "_O'clock"_.
So, *~JIKAN* is counter for _~HOURS_
*Ichi-jikan* - _One hour_
and
*~JI *is counter for _~O'CLOCK_
*Ichi-ji *- _One o'clock_
