The time 7:30 - TigR - 2015-02-16 22:19

The time "7:30". Is it half 7, or half 8?

RE: The time 7:30 - Carl - 2015-02-16 22:21

I don't get where the 'Half 8' part comes into it? Confused mind blown.

It's something people outside of the UK seem to do.

It's obviously half 7.

It would be 7 hours and one half of the eighth, in finnish we would say "puoli kahdeksan" which is literally "half eight" or perhaps "half of eight".

RE: The time 7:30 - Leon - 2015-02-16 22:43

Same here, AJ. In faroese it's "hálvgum átta", which translates to "half eight".

RE: The time 7:30 - TigR - 2015-02-16 22:43

Exacly what we do aswell. That is the reason i asked the question, to might find the reason to it!

Here it's half 8 as well.
Weird Brits huh.

RE: The time 7:30 - Ras - 2015-02-16 22:49

7:30 = Half 8 indeed.
8:00 = "Full" 8

7:00 = "Full" 7 and 6:30 = Half 7.

RE: The time 7:30 - Pipa - 2015-02-16 22:53

Halb acht.

that!

to bring some more confusion up:
even northern germany and especially east or south differ on the quarter parts.

7:15 is quarter past seven, while some funny call it just quarter eight, meaning 1/4 of the eights hour have passed.

7:45 is quarter to eight, or for the others threequarter eight, meaning 3/4 of the eights hour have passed.

RE: The time 7:30 - Dan - 2015-02-16 23:05

In Canada, apparently "7:45" is 45 minutes past 7, as opposed to quarter to 8.

RE: The time 7:30 - Howlin - 2015-02-16 23:05

I admit us Brits are weird with things like the side of the road we drive on but in this case I don't think so, saying "half seven" is a shortened version of saying "half past seven". We actually shorten quite a lot of things in a similar fashion, at least up north where i'm from. Tongue

RE: The time 7:30 - Mikee - 2015-02-16 23:13

Half Seven because its a 'Half' past 'Seven'

RE: The time 7:30 - Ras - 2015-02-16 23:18

Then you would say "Half past seven". "Half seven" is obviously a different meaning.

RE: The time 7:30 - Howlin - 2015-02-16 23:26

But you wouldn't say "Halfway to eight past seven" now would you? Because that's what saying it the way you do, would mean. Tongue
