but yes, for time it is kwadrans not ćwiartka, lol

Polish looks soo.. interesting and complicated

Why? Most of letters combination such as "ci", "dzi", "rz" etc. are one sound. It may look scary though.

Yes we say from 1 to 12 when spoken too. Its faster but also to say "Its five past twenty one - Yirmibiri beş geçiyor." looks stupidly in Turkish

Exactly. Here if someone wants to be official and use 21, then that person can simply say 21:05 ("dwudziesta pierwsza pięć", which can be translated as twenty first five).

You dont use also "quarter" word ?

Very rarely. It is possible to use "quarter" ("kwadrans" here), but giving numbers is more common.

Why?

rzynasta/pierwsza
pięć po trzynastej/pierwszej
dziesięć po trzynastej/pierwszej
piętnaście po trzynastej/pierwszej
dwadzieścia po trzynastej/pierwszej
dwadzieścia pięć po trzynastej/pierwszej
wpół do czternastej/drugiej
za dwadzieścia pięć czternasta/druga

Yeah already you answered yourself "Most of letters combination such as "ci", "dzi", "rz" etc. are one sound. It may look scary though."
I tried saying some words lmaooo you dont want to hear tirizeynastej piervizej divadziesciaa divadzieşçia divad... whatevaar.. tirizej nastej trizivijidierzrzejjzzzdjzjd.. and you are saying and writing just "time" come ooon what are you doing in math lesson ?

Exactly. Here if someone wants to be official and use 21, then that person can simply say 21:05 ("dwudziesta pierwsza pięć", which can be translated as twenty first five).

So you use 13-24 when spoke too if you want to be offical ?

Very rarely. It is possible to use "quarter" ("kwadrans" here), but giving numbers is more common.

Hmm we say number too 15 (onbeş) but quarter are more commen

That's why exams on math are in written form.

So you use 13-24 when spoke too if you want to be offical ?

Somewhat. For example if someone happened at 15:30, people in TV news will say it happened at this hour, not on 3. To not confuse people.

Now I understand why you are shocked after seeing numbers written in Polish.

In high school literature lessons are within Polish lessons. On final exams there are both, written and spoken. Same with foreign language.

Can you say to me 1.345.789 ?

Milion trzysta czterdzieści pięć tysięcy siedemset osiemdziesiąt dziewięć.

Portugal:

9:15
nove e um quarto
nine and a quarter

9:30
nove e meia
nine and half

9:45
um quarto para as dez
a quarter to ten

9:10
nove e dez
nine and ten

9:55
cinco para as dez
five to ten

00h
meia noite
mid night

12h
meio dia
mid day


It's pretty much like English, which in my biased opinion is the most logical system.
