I always look it up on Google. I regularly run into this kind of problem when looking at log files which use AM/PM time. Related question: How do you even say "14:00" in English? In school I learned that you say o'clock but I never heard that in real life.
- blibble 5y ago14:00 -> fourteen hundred hours 14:01 -> fourteen oh one 14:10 -> fourteen ten etc
- branon 5y ago"Fourteen hundred" Fourteen o'clock works too but is less natural.
- Koshkin 5y agoIndeed, “o’clock” is what you say when you look at a clock face!
- andrewzah 5y agoI’ve heard and used “o’clock” my entire life but not with 24 hour time. You could say “fourteen hundred (hours)” or 2 pm/o’clock. For 08:00, “oh 8 hundred hours”.
- dccoolgai 5y agoOver 12, you generally pronounce it as military time. So you would say "14 hundred hours" I think.
- GoodbyeMrChips 5y ago> you generally pronounce it as military time WTF is 'military time'?

- GoodbyeMrChips 5y agoErrrrm.... That's an ordinary 24 hour clock. Rather bizarre to call it "Military" time.
- Markoff 5y agomilitary time is spoken in hundreds and doesn't use colon, while regular 24hr time is spoken in dozens and use colon Military 1400 - fourteen hundred 1430 - fourteen hundred thirty Standard 24h 14:00 - fourteen hours 14:30 - fourteen thirty But I am not native English speaker and this is only my understanding from what I observed about military time vs 24 hours time and I may be wrong, someone please correct me.
- FerociousTimes 5y agonot a native speaker here but you could say "Two PM sharp"
