minus-squareSanyanov@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoIn my country it’s normal to pronounce time in either format, and it doesn’t make any confusion. Also we don’t use AM or PM when using 12-hour format: we say night/morning/day/evening. Like “3 in the day” means 3PM, or 15:00. “Fifteen-o-o” works just fine as well.

minus-squareSanyanov@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months ago“Three in the morning” is super weird, like, it’s not morning, this thing is called night :D
minus-squareCaptain Aggravated@sh.itjust.workslinkfedilinkarrow-up1·10 months agoIf you said “three at night” to an American, I think he’d have to process it for a minute. You’d say it’s _ in the morning from like 12:30AM through noon, _ in the afternoon from noon to about 6 or 7, then _ at night/evening from then till midnight.
