To tell time in Norwegian, you typically start with the hour, followed by the minutes. Here’s how it works:

2. '''For minutes:''' After stating the hour, you can add the minutes directly.
 
3. '''Special cases:''' If it’s exactly on the hour, just state the hour followed by "klokken".
 
4. '''For half-past:''' Use "halv" followed by the hour after the current hour.
 
5. '''For quarter past and to:''' Use "kvart" for quarter and "over" for past and "på" for to.
 
Let’s look at some examples:
