The Irish expression of time is very confusing for people who speak Dutch. Already in my first days here, I noticed that when Irish say "half 4" they mean 4.30. In Dutch "half vier", the literal translation, means 3.30!
However, after 3 months in Ireland, I have started to use the expression in the same way and the Erasmus people in my house completely understand me. I guess I'm really taking over the culture in all its ways!
