minus-squarecrimroy@sopuli.xyzlinkfedilinkarrow-up3arrow-down1·1 year agoI would say “quarter of” 10. So there.
minus-squareThe Picard Maneuver@startrek.websiteOPlinkfedilinkarrow-up5·1 year agoIsn’t ‘quarter of’ 10:15? (I always use “quarter to” or “quarter til”, but never “quarter of”)
minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up3·1 year agoIn german you’d just say quarter ten, half ten and three quarters ten for 9:15, 9:30 and 9:45 respectively
minus-squaremiss_brainfart@lemmy.mllinkfedilinkarrow-up0·1 year agoThough not every region in Germany will do that, some think it’s stupid, but it makes sense to me. Quarter ten for example means a quarter of the tenth hour is over, so 9:15. There’s good logic behind it, at least
