Die Uhrzeit - Telling Time Continued

It's now time to learn more about die Uhrzeit auf Deutsch - telling time in German.

Parts of the hour

Additional Times - half, quarter, past, to (until)

Imagine the clock as a pie with 30 minutes being Halb and 15 minutes being Viertel

  • The German word for a "quarter" is "Viertel".
  • The German word for half is "halb".
    • For "half past," in German, say halb and the next hour.
    • Example: 7:30
      • Germans say half to eight (Halb acht)
      • English speakers say half past seven.

In German, the equivalent of "past" is "nach" (= after/past) "to" is translated by "vor" (= before/till).
