how do you tell formal time in German?

Question

What do i have to do and can you give me the answers I am despirate

Answer 1

Here are some examples:

9 AM--"neun Uhr"

9:15 AM--"neun Uhr fünfzehn" or "viertel zehn" (to the Germans, the first hour *ends* at 1 PM, the second hour at 2 PM, etc., so "viertel zehn" loosely translates to "a quarter of the way into the tenth hour")

9:30 AM--"neun Uhr dreißig" or "halb zehn" ("halfway through the tenth hour")

9:45 AM--"neun Uhr fünfundvierzig" or "dreiviertel zehn" ("three-quarters of the way into the tenth hour")

EDIT: Numerically these examples would be notated "9.15 Uhr" or "9.30 Uhr". If the top of the hour is meant, the Germans sometimes shorten it to "9 Uhr". (Source: A video clip currently playing on the web.de web site; it's a promo for a TV show.)

If you wanted to express 9:45 *PM*, then simply add 12 to the hour number, because the Germans use the 24-hour clock.
