〜に〜 ((time) ni V) — doing something at a specific time
Marks the exact time an action happens.
Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)
Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)
Put に after a specific clock time to say the action happens "at" that time. Example: 七時におきます (shichiji ni okimasu) = "I wake up at seven." But relative times — 今日 (today), あした (tomorrow), 毎日 (every day) — take no に: あした行きます = "I'll go tomorrow." Only exact, numbered times need に.

juuniji ni tabemasu.
