Thank you for your question.
Yes, 1:30 for time is ไธๆๅ.
For duration, however, it is ไธๆ้ๅ, ๅ comes after ไธๆ้๐
Hope you enjoy learning Japanese with us:)

For example, I would like to say that something is going to take an hour an a half. From App. 2 I know that 1:30 is ไธๆๅ. But when I talk about the duration, when does the ้ go? Is it ไธๆๅ้? Or ไธๆ้ๅ?
Thanks!
Best,
Kay

You can say both yon-fun and yon-pun. Either one you prefer is correct๐
Though more people tend to say yon-pun because it's easier to pronounce.
Please let us know if you have any questions :)

I see translations for four minutes as both "yon-pun" and "yon-fun". I prefer yon-pun as all of the cardinal numbers ending in "p" or "n" have "pun (such as on the NHK language site), but there are as many (on a quick survey) that use "fun". I will ask some of my Japanese fiends, but thought Jpod101 would also have an answer.
Let us know if you have any questions.
Looking at the romaji: Shouldn't the "yon" be omitted for the expression for 20 minutes?
