Kapitel 11: Wia spat is'?

Grammatik:

Now we've learned the time. It is basically the same as in English, but there is one main difference: You say halv to the hours, not after! (Same as in German by the way)
Es is hoibe åchte.     =     It's halv past seven.     (halv an hour to eight)
Es is hoibe drei.       =     It's halv past two.     (halv an hour to three)
The quarters can be tricky, too. But until now, we only look at the easy version:
Es is viertel nåch vier.     =    It's a quarter past four.
Es is viertel vor åchte.    =    It's a quarter to eight.
Although am. and pm. is not common in Bavaria, only the numbers to 12 are used for time in daily conversation. But the 24h time is used for writing. 14:55 = 2.55 pm
To say a time point, use „um“:
I kimm um åchte.              =     I come at eight (o'clock).
Er geht um hoibe oans.     =     He goes (or leaves) at halv past twelve.
You can also use the word „Uhr“ (clock) to tell the time:
Es is drei Uhr.     =     It's three o'clock.
But you can't use it for one o'clock. The only way to say here is: Es is oans.
