Son Veinte Tres y Trienta Siete ---|-

The 24-Hour Clock or Military Time

In Spanish-speaking countries, you will find that the 24-hour clock is used for official reasons, such as train and plane schedules.

Telling time like this is easy -- the minutes past the hour are counted or expressed from 1 to 59.

Instead of using cuarto or media to express 15 past or 30 past the hour, use quince (15) and treinta (30).

Finally, the A.M./P.M. expressions (de la mañana, de la tarde, de la noche) are not used.

Time is expressed like this:

Spanish English
Son las tres y treinta. It's 3:30 .
Son las quince y cuarenta y uno. It's 15:41.
Son veinte y cincuenta. It's 20:50.
Es la una y treinta y dos. It's 1:32
