Noon = 12pm (or 12am) ? - Sprachlabor: Englisch ⇔ Deutsch Forum - leo.org
Hi, I am unsure about the correct way to use the 12 hours system. Is 12pm referring to midnight, or to midday ? The context is about working hours: Du lundi au vendredi de 18h00 à 24h00 Du samedi au dimanche, de 08h00 à 12h00 Mondays to Fridays, from 6pm to 12pm (or am?) Saturdays and...
12am / 12pm - Which is noon? which is midnight? | Page 2 ...
Dear all, can you confirm the following? 12am is 00:00h? 12pm is 12:00h? and if I'm talking about a period of time, let's say in the afternoon, can I say 12-3pm or I must specify 12pm-3pm? What's most common in English? Thanks a lot!
So, 12pm or 12am is absurd by definition. This explains the confusion around it and one person understands 12am, for instance, as midnight and the other as midday.
Afterwards, I would say good evening. Good Evening becoming good night, well it's quite sketchy. It's like in Spanish, I never know exactly when to use Buenas Tardes and Buenas Noches. I'd say the transition is probably comparable. I think really, the transition between the latter two can take place at any point between 9-12pm.
Afternoon means strictly after 12pm, ending in the evening when it starts getting dark. In conclusion, it is technically still correct to say good morning after 12pm, as long as the sun has not yet reached its zennith.
