Viertel fünf


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


In German "viertel fünf" and "viertel vor fünf" must not be confused. The first version means: a quarter on the way from four to five o'clock, which is either 4.15 or 16.15. The latter means: a quarter still before us on the way from four to five o'clock, which can either mean 4.45 or 16.45.
