What? That must be a bavaria/switzerland/austria thing. I never heard this. hearing quarter ten (Viertel zehn?) i’d assume 10:15 and most definitly not 09:15 0.o
I’ll stay with quarter before ten for (viertel vor zehn) 09:45 and quarter after ten (viertel nach zehn) for 10:15.
I’m not sure if this meme is doubly trolling me here, but please tell me nobody says “a quarter til ten” instead of “quarter to ten”!
In german you’d just say quarter ten, half ten and three quarters ten for 9:15, 9:30 and 9:45 respectively
Madness!
Though not every region in Germany will do that, some think it’s stupid, but it makes sense to me.
Quarter ten for example means a quarter of the tenth hour is over, so 9:15. There’s good logic behind it, at least

BaWü, but even there not everyone says it like that
First time I’m hearing of it also. Like “cowboy time” doesn’t work if its “til”
I would say “quarter of” 10. So there.
Isn’t ‘quarter of’ 10:15?
(I always use “quarter to” or “quarter til”, but never “quarter of”)
You’re just fucking with me now!
