While I'm awake...
May. 24th, 2005 01:14 amI have some selected exercises I wish to post (since I'm class-less) and wanted to know if it's ok to post them for some help.
As for the topic now, time confuses me. I am now ok with the whole "пятнадцать минут/четверть второго" thing of what hour we are in right now, but there's this exercise that states in some cases to translate "6:45" and "16:40" and "8:20 PM" and "5:14 AM." For the first two, I'm guessing it's just normal "без четверти семь" and "сорок минут шестнадцатого" and I'm guessing they want me to use ночи, вечера, днём, и утра for the last two. How would one go about it though? "Двадцать минут восьмого вечера?" "Четырнадцать минут пятого ночи?" It doesn't sound right...
