In some countries that use 24 hour time notation it's really uncommon to use that in spoken language[0]. When I say four past four in Dutch, it could be 04:04 or 16:04. So even if you've set the clock to 24 hours, that doesn't mean you would actually say sixteen when referring to 16:xx.
You can set the region in the settings, maybe that influences the way Siri interprets time? (I would be surprised if it does, but you never know)

- smoe 5y agoWould you never use the 24h format when speaking? E.g I’m Swiss and I would often say 16:04 when referring to a precise time like a train departure. But four, quarter past four, half five and quarter to five.
- wartijn_ 5y agoNo, I would use: four (vier uur, so literally translated four hour), four past four, quarter past four, half five, quarter to five.
