Viertel drei


... German for => a quarter past two (time of the day)


In German "viertel drei" and "viertel vor drei" must not be confused. The first version means: a quarter on the way from two to three o'clock, which is either 2.15 or 14.15. The latter means: a quarter still before us on the way from two to three o'clock, which can either mean 2.45 or 14.45.
