Wait till you hear how Japan does things. If something closes at 1a or 2a, quite often the signage says 2500 or 2600 instead of 0100 or 0200 to denote that it’s a holdover from the previous day.

Japanese work culture. If you're not working 26 hours per day, you're a slacker.
Wait, but then what time does it roll over into the new day at? Does it go 29:00 -> 06:00?
It’s not an “official” thing and usually rolls over based on the business.
So let’s say one business opens at 10a and closes at 4a every day, they’ll say 10:00-28:00
But let’s say a different company opens at 3a and closes at 10p, they’ll say 03:00-22:00
You’ll notice that there isn’t an “official” reset of time, it’s only used when a business carries over past midnight till whenever they close the next day. You don’t really find anything going past about 4a though.
Oh I see
The French say "14 heur". It's no biggie.
I read it as 14 removed and idk what the french say, imma pronounce it that way.
Depends. Some people will say "21 Uhr", some people will say "9 Uhr", one isn't more formal than the other.
Of course with the 12h format you always need additional context to know if you mean in the moring or in the evening, since we don't use "am/pm".
I always prefer 24 uhr ;) format and usually set my devices to it, but I feel it is too formal to tell a friend, "hey, I will call you at 1700 hours"
24 uhr
That's actually not a thing. It goes from 23:59 to 00:00
And when you'd say it it would be "23 Uhr 59" to "0 Uhr".
I meant to say 24 hour format there
When people talk they speak in the 12 hour clock, but written communication is in 24hr
It varies very much from country to country. In some it is perfectly fine to say "meet you at 19 o'clock" or similar.
(in German) Both formats are commonly used in both cases.
