Answer 1

12 AM
noon = midi
twelve o'clock = midi
midi = midday

12 PM
midnight = minuit
twelve-o'clock = minuit

In french when it is 12 am, we just say : 'il est midi' and for 12 pm : 'il est minuit'

Answer 2

twelve o'clock: midi or minuit

In French you would not usually say 'douze' [twelve] as you do in English, and the words you use indicate whether it is night or day:

midi [= mid-day, the 'di' in French comes from Latin 'dies', day = jour]
note: you have the same 'di'/day in lunDI/monDAY etc.

minuit [= mid-night, from Latin too, but a bit further. nuit = night].

am and pm would be referred as f.ex. "quatre heures du matin" [lit. 4 h in the morning = am] or "quatre heures de l'après-midi" [4h in the afternoon = pm]

am/pm in English refer to ante/post meridiem = before/after mid-day (again, that Latin!). 'am' in French is referred as "matin" [morning]. However, the idea of "pm" translates equally in those three languages as post meridiem (dies/day), afternoon, and après-midi.

Now, why is "noon" also "mid-day"? OK. That's enough.

Answer 3

Douze heures: 12 o'clock
Midi: Noon (12 pm)
Minuit: Midnight (12 am)
