Time, Numbers & Colors in German

German numbers from 21 to 99 say the ones before the tens: 21 is einundzwanzig, literally "one and twenty". These words also cover days, months, seasons, colors, and telling the time. Timetables use the 24-hour clock, so a train at 18:30 leaves at achtzehn Uhr dreißig.

FAQ

Time, Numbers & Colors in German: common questions

Why do Germans say numbers backwards?

From 21 to 99, the ones come first: 35 is fünfunddreißig (five and thirty). It takes practice, so say prices and ages out loud until it feels natural.

What does halb drei mean?

It means 2:30, not 3:30. Halb looks ahead to the next hour, so halb drei is half an hour before three. It is one of the most common time mix-ups for English speakers.

Are days of the week capitalized in German?

Yes, because they are nouns: der Montag, der Dienstag. But with -s, meaning "on Mondays", the word is written in lowercase: montags, dienstags.
