Weird, I heard that in Germany they write either "19:00" OR "19 Uhr" and they say the same as you ONLY in casual speech but, for formal writing, they do it the real way (the way I mentioned above).

Originally posted by ali92 No problem: I LOVE talking about time/date formats, travel, and how things are done in different regions in the world! Here's something I've been wondering: In the 24 hour format, when the time is on the hour, like at 02:00, 19:00, etc., how do you say those times? I know you don't say "Nineteen O'Clock" but, I hear the expression "2 O'Clock", even in places where 24 hour time is standard. Is the correct way of saying it "X Hours" ("X" means any value between 0 and 23)? I know that in the US military, they use 24 hour format but, they do it a bit different: There's NO colon (":") between the hour and minute values and they say 19:00 like this: "Nineteen Hundred Hours". Isn't it confusing? It's only 19 hours past Midnight and they say 19 hundred. I think that's why Americans think that the 24 hour format is confusing, because of what the military does. I use the 24 hour format and I've been pronouncing it "13 hours, 14 hours etc." And for times like 08:00, 10:00, etc., I say "8 O'Clock, 10 O'Clock, etc". For 00:00/24:00, I say "Midnight". For times between 00:00 and 01:00, I saw "X minutes past Midnight" ("X" means any value between 1 and 59"). Is all this correct? Tell me how you say it in The Netherlands and everywhere else. Also, if the pronunciations are different, please show examples like I've done (Only use English, as I only know English). This will help everyone. Later, I'll return to this thread with some website that's good for travel ANYWHERE. Highly useful!

You found yourself a match
I'm addicted to foreigners/foreign stuff/different cultures etc. :P
Europe is one of the best places you can be if you are interested in such things.. over 50 nationalities, different languages etc. Neat
Anyway ->

We in Holland pronounce those hours the same as New Wave said. 19:00 = 7 O'Clock, as is 7:00. Germans do it differently sometimes. As do the Dutch in certain cases. For example departure times of busses, airplanes and trains. They might say: "This train will depart from track 12 at nineteen fiftyfour."(19:54).

Btw it's very confusing that the US army use the 'hundred-style'; it confuses most of the American people whilst it isn't all that hard to understand how we count the time.

How about when the train's supposed to depart at 00:32 or 20:00? What do they say then?

It may sound odd but: "twee over half één" -> "2 past half one", and for the second one, just "acht uur", "8 o'clock".

Weird... How about 00:13? There's no HALF in there now! LOL! The times between 00:00 and 01:00 would be less confusing if it was like this: 00:15 = "15 minutes past Midnight". Shouldn't it be "2 past half OF one" anyway?

00:13 = "dertien over twaalf" -> "thirteen past twelve"
They seldomly say midnight.. but it might occur.
No it's not 'half of one', just 'half one', it's caused by a glitch in Dutch grammar. In English you allways say "this many" minutes past XX. We allways say a half before the whole hour.

13:15 -> kwart over één (quarter past one)
13:30 -> half twee (half two) (instead of half past one)
13:45 -> kwart voor twee (quarter to two)
