Halv hours
Start with halv. Norwegian says the hour you are halfway toward.
klokka er halv fire
halfway to four
klokka er halv fem
halfway to five
klokka er halv seks
halfway to six
klokka er halv ni
halfway to nine
Name the hour you are moving toward
At 3:30, you are halfway to four, so Norwegian says halv fire. The named hour is one later than the digital hour shown before :30.
Examples
halv fire
3:30
halfway to four
halv ni
8:30
halfway to nine
Heads up
halv fire is 3:30, not 4:30. Think: halfway to four.
