Asking about a point in time.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Germans value punctuality. If you ask 'Wann?' and someone says 'um acht', they mean exactly 8:00, not 8:15. In Switzerland, time precision is even more pronounced. 'Wann' questions often result in answers down to the minute. In modern German texting, 'Wann?' is often sent as a single-word message to ask for a status update on a meeting.
The 'Question' Rule
If you can't put a question mark at the end of the thought, don't use 'wann'.
Avoid 'If' confusion
English speakers often say 'I don't know if...' using 'wann'. Use 'ob' for 'if/whether' and 'wann' for 'at what time'.
