Viertel zwei = a quarter of the second hour has passed, i.e., it's 1:15. It's a logical extension of the standard-language "halb zwei". But note that this is only used and understood in some German-speaking regions, not all!
- RBerenguel 9y agoIt works the same in Catalan: un quart de dues is 1:15, as in "one quarter of the hour 2". If we go full into it, we have as valid and used constructs "un quart i mig de dues" for anything around 1:21-1:23 (one quarter and a half of 2, which would be 1:22.5)
