D'Auer (telling time):

8:00 = aacht Auer8:30 = hallwer néng
8:15 = Véirel op néng8:45 = Véirel vir néng

Deeg vun der Woch: Méindeg, Dënschdeg, Mëttwoch, Donneschdeg, Freideg, Samschdeg, Sonndeg.

Méint: Januar, Februar, Mäerz, Abrëll, Mee, Juni, Juli, August, September, Oktober, November, Dezember.

Wichteg: Hallwer néng = half to nine (8:30) — like German halb neun. NOT half past eight!

The half-hour convention (hallwer néng = 8:30) confuses English speakers who expect "half past eight". 🇬🇧 English speakers: "Half nine" = 9:30 in English but 8:30 in Luxembourgish! Very confusing. 🇩🇪 German speakers: Identical: halb neun = hallwer néng. Same half-hour logic.

Schémas d'erreurs fréquents

Interpreting hallwer X as X:30 instead of (X-1):30

Hallwer néng = 8:30, hallwer zéng = 9:30 — always half toward the next hour

Et ass hallwer zéng.

It's half past nine (9:30).

Hallwer zéng = half toward ten = 9:30. NOT 10:30!

Ech schaffen vu Méindeg bis Freideg.

I work from Monday to Friday.

Days of the week. Vu...bis = from...to.

Mäi Gebuertsdag ass am Mäerz.

My birthday is in March.

Am + month. Mäerz = March (Luxembourgish spelling).
