Hello and welcome back to my channel My name is Maria I am a German teacher and your language coach Today I will explain a topic that confuses many The time in German Namely formal and informal Many have long wished for this video Today you will finally learn how to correctly say the time in German All the information from the video is also available in my free PDF Scan the QR code and download it Or click on the first link below this video And we're starting There's a lot to do Let's go Let's start with the time in German This is how you can ask for the time What time is it Or how late is it Speak to me today without fail This video is also a good pronunciation exercise You can also use indirect questions I would like to know what time it is Do you happen to know what time it is Do you happen to know what time it is We also learn this topic in my A2 course And so we officially respond In German you first say the hour then "o'clock " and then the minutes The word "o'clock" is very important here You always say it where the colon is Stop the video for a moment and write me a comment What time is it there right now These are the official times These are often used in radio and television Informal times are used in conversation In everyday life people often mix official and unofficial times This is completely normal when speaking At the informal time people usually use the 12- hour system First the minutes are said then the hour Exactly the opposite then It's two o'clock Informally you don't necessarily have to use the word "o'clock " So you can just say it's two This is also absolutely correct It's a quarter past two It's half past two It's a quarter to three What do we see here In half hours the word "half" is used plus the number of the next full hour So when it's half past one is already thinking about the future about the next hour It is half past three It is half past four At 15-minute intervals past the hour the word "quarter" is used With the prepositions "vor" and "nach " you can show the distance to the full hour or the half hour It is a quarter past three It is a quarter past three A small bonus tip for you In many parts of Germany a different phrasing is used It is a quarter to four or three-quarters past three Have you heard that before Please feel free to leave a comment That is however not standard language 13 o'clock is actually a special time When using the word "hour " you say "one " It is one o'clock When the word "clock" is not used one says "one " It is one Interesting isn't it It is a clock or it is one Please remember that Many people make mistakes here but not you because you have subscribed to my channel Let's practice briefly What time is it It is a quarter to nine It is ten thirty We can also give the time approximately Use these words: short before soon short after It is just before ten or it is exactly ten It is just after eight It is just before half past eight It is just after eleven thirty And what time is it now Approximately that We continue practicing What time is it We need the official and the unofficial version It is ten o'clock It is ten It is ten past five It is five past ten It is ten It is ten past ten It is ten fifteen It is ten twenty It is twenty past ten It is ten twenty-five It is five to half past ten It is ten thirty It is half past ten It is ten thirty-five It is five past ten It is ten forty It is twenty to eleven It is ten forty-five It is ten minutes to eleven It is ten fifty It is ten to eleven It is ten fifty-five It is ten to eleven It is eleven o'clock It is eleven Clock times in German may seem complicated at first but with a little practice you will soon understand them automatically You can now tell whether at the doctor's appointment in the cinema or in everyday life Now you know how to use time correctly in German Write me again in the comments What time is it there right now officially and unofficially You can do that now Think about my free BDF with all the information from the video Scan the code and download it or click on the first link under this video We will practice the topic of time in my brand new A1 course Please feel free to sign up for the waiting list The course is almost finished Maybe it's already out when you watch this video Well then keep working hard Watch out for yourself and we'll see each other again soon in my new video Take care and goodbye Five past five thirty Time for quitting time
