RE: The time 7:30 - Chuck - 2015-02-17 06:56
I fail to see how half of something can be more than something. It may not be taken literally but that's what it sounds like. Especially to people who heard that term first after their brains were grown to their full size.
However, I've learned to say "half past" since that allows the least misunderstanding.

In english half past seven
In dutch we say "half 8" ( but in dutch instead of english )

I never realised so many people can't tell the time.
RE: The time 7:30 - Jimmy - 2015-02-17 08:44
In Sweden we are saying "Halv" 8 so i guessing half 8
RE: The time 7:30 - Cola - 2015-02-17 09:46
Would either be half PAST seven, or half eight.
In Denmark, you only say "Halv otte" meaning half eight, because the time is half the way to eight.
