klokka halv to

Separate three information types

First identify the weekday, then the ordinal date, then the Norwegian clock phrase. Enter the requested time in 24-hour HH:MM format.

Remember that halv fire is 15:30, because Norwegian names the hour it is halfway toward.

Examples

Kan vi møtes tirsdag den tjueandre april klokka halv fire?

Can we meet Tuesday, April 22 at 3:30 p.m.?

Quick check

Convert ti på fire to 24-hour afternoon time.

15:50

Level 4

Use hos when the appointment is with a person or service.

Understand the appointment frame

Use hos for an appointment with a person or service: hos legen, hos tannlegen, hos frisøren. Translate this framing so the learner can focus on the tested date and time.
