4:30: half 5
Note that to an English-speaking person, this is wrong, as "half 5" means 5:30. I once tried to explain that logic to a few Brits, in that the German "half 5" means "half [of the hour from 4 to] 5" instead of "half [past] 5", but to no avail.
- tharkun__ 5y agoWell this happens if you try to show what Germans say in another language ;) So "halb fuenf" is "half 5". Same with the "full" for "voll" and for "um" I gave up. No idea how to say that "in English". Or for that matter "4 Uhr 5" for 4:05. "4 o'clock 5" doesn't quite do it, though I guess it's the closest one might come lol!
