Comment on Is there a “proper“ way to say “6:05 AM”?
echodot@feddit.uk 10 months agoIn French they say 6 hours 5 minutes, all time is after a no time is to.
So 9:55 would be 9 hours 55 minutes, whereas in English we would say 5 minutes to 10, the French system just seems more consistent.

As an American, I’ve followed the French pattern my whole life. I’ve never once said minutes to or till an hour.
