When the Germans say half eight it's like saying a quarter to, it means half past seven, not half past eight. You have to watch out for that misunderstanding.
Germans, who are reputedly sticklers for time, would presumably not be amused if you turned up an hour late.
Es ist half acht. It is half past seven.
Angela Lansbury, travel writer and photographer, author and speaker.
