What Time Is It?


Poppi

Recommended Posts

If the clock read 8:45, and someone asked what time it is- i'd say "quarter to nine", or "eight forty five". If it was 8:10, it'd be "ten past/after eight". If it were 8:30- "half past eight".

Have heard some peeps from around the world express the time, and i'm like...what?

Posting as the 45 year old man that I am, I probably should have led with that one instead of what I did post.

Ahh, 45. That was a good year...The borders were strong, and the sun shined 25 hours a day.

It is how spies were weeded out during WW2. What time is it- Cinq et trois. ..busted.

Halb vier, would be a giveaway.

(which means that "half four" in German means half past three, interestingly.)

I've heard people say - 10 of 7...is that ten to, or ten after?...Have heard other expressions of the clock that i could not understand, but can't remember them all.

My point was- how people express the time, could indicate to locals that  that person is not from these parts.

For example, some Germans might say- it is eleven twelfths to 7 -for 6:55... 6:35 or 25 to seven etc etc.
