minus-squareDiplomjodler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up16·6 months agoIn Germany we say “dreiviertel acht” or “three quarter eight”. This will irrationally enrage people from Northern Germany.
minus-squareDicska@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up2·6 months agoHungary has the same system. Or “half five” actually being 16:30. It’s been hella fun getting used to “half five” meaning 17:30. Constant confusion.
minus-squareKickforce@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up1·6 months agoIn Dutch you get fun stuff like 16.35 being vijf over half vijf, being 5 past half five. I’m sure German is similar in that regard.
minus-squaremyrmidex@lemmy.nogods.belinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·6 months agoWould ppl from Northern Germany say that was 6? That would be my way of calculating 3 quarter 8 :)
