Hasta las quince

Question

This was posted by John:

Yo voy estar a tu lado hasta la quince...I'm going to be at your side (with you) forever.

Now there is a saying for you! Never heard this in my life, jeje

Where is this used? Any saying like this in English?

Answer 1

asta las quince means until the 15th hour. its a way of saying the party dont stop till really late.

The 15th hour is 3pm. This doesn't make any sense. - 005faa61, May 15, 2010

maybe they start the party late at night and don't leave until 3 in the afternoon the next day, :)? - MeEncantanCarasSonrisas, May 15, 2010

Maybe it would be clearer to say something like "15o'clock", rather than the 15th hour... - aceydoubleyou, May 15, 2010

Answer 2

hi

Hasta las quince means hasta las 3 p.m., in 24 hours format. Is used on militar, policial and other areas. las catorce son las 2 p.m. (12+2); las veintitrés son las once p.m. (12+11) etc.

Answer 3

It's a everyday thing people say...kinda slangy, very puerto rican. I would say Amo tanto este pagino...yo me quedo aqui hasta la quince.

j, funny saying, would not be understood over there. - 00494d19, Sep 18, 2009

Answer 4

We have some involving numbers, like:

"dressing to the nines" similar in meaning to "getting all dolled up".

Dressing in formal or extravagant attire to go out for an evening, if you're not familiar with either saying.
