minus-squareDiplomjodler@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up15·1 month agoIn Germany we say “dreiviertel acht” or “three quarter eight”. This will irrationally enrage people from Northern Germany.
minus-squaremacniel@feddit.orglinkfedilinkarrow-up7·1 month agoNoooo only Berliners say it like that, and as a northern light it enrages me as I have to convert it to a more sensical time format.
minus-squaredblsaiko@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up2·1 month agoIt’s a thing in Bavaria as well. I’m trying to erase it from my vocabulary because I hate it too.
minus-squaremyrmidex@lemmy.nogods.belinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·1 month agoWould ppl from Northern Germany say that was 6? That would be my way of calculating 3 quarter 8 :)
minus-squareKickforce@lemmy.wtflinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month 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-squareDicska@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·1 month 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.
