意思
A basic way to tell the time.
文化背景
Estonians are very punctual. If you say 'Kell on viis' and you are meeting someone, it means you should be there at 5:00 sharp, not 5:05. The 24-hour clock is used for all official business, but in speech, people almost always use the 12-hour clock. The 'Academic Quarter' (akadeemiline veerand) means lectures often start at 15 minutes past the hour, but 'Kell on viis' still refers to the top of the hour. 5:00 PM is the 'sacred' end of the day for many. Saying 'Kell on viis' is a polite way to end a meeting.
Drop the 'See'
Never start a time sentence with 'See' (It). Just start with 'Kell'.
24h vs 12h
Use 12h numbers (1-12) in conversation, even if the digital clock says 17:00.
