Digital time
0 Hi everyone! 02 br
00 I'm wondering how we read the digital time in English. 02 br
00 Example: 02 br
00 10:30 => It's ten thirty. 02 br
00 12:15 => It's twelve fifteen. 02 br
00 But 23:05? => It's eleven "oh" five P.M. or/and twenty-three five. 02 br
00 Thank you very much in advance. 02 br

0 Hi, 02 br 00 Your question is about military time. In everyday life, not too many businesses or public services use this time. 02 br 00 23:05 is read as "twenty three o five", not zero five.

00 23:05 is read as "twenty three o five", not zero five. In military time, AM/PM doesn't need to be identified because 12:59 is already PM and 11:59 is understood as AM. 0-

00 I don't think you are interested in military time, are you? I think you live in a country where 24-hour digital clocks are used (like in my country). In the US, as far as I know, they commonly use 12-hour clocks, so you would see 11:05 PM (or just 11:05) instead of 23:05, and you'd read it as 01 i 00 "eleven oh five" 02 i
