Yes we do. What we don't do is the German- we don't say "halb sechs" (half to six, 5:30). We would say "half past five".
Many people are used to telling precise time from being insanely overworked all the time, so you need to say it is precisely 5:33 because 5:27 is a world of difference.
- Swizec 9y agoFWIW I once missed a flight because I remembered that my flight was at "half past" and there was a flight to the same destination at 6:25am and at 6:30am. At the same terminal. On different gates. Didn't even keep reading the board after I spotted the 6:25 flight. It was the wrong one.
