Also we don’t use AM or PM when using 12-hour format: we say night/morning/day/evening. Like “3 in the day” means 3PM, or 15:00.
“Fifteen-o-o” works just fine as well.

In America you’ll hear “It’s three in the morning” or “It’s four in the afternoon.”

“Three in the morning” is super weird, like, it’s not morning, this thing is called night :D

If you said “three at night” to an American, I think he’d have to process it for a minute. You’d say it’s _ in the morning from like 12:30AM through noon, _ in the afternoon from noon to about 6 or 7, then _ at night/evening from then till midnight.

12:30AM is something that completely breaks my mind :D
We’re talking 00:30, right? And what if there is 0:15, for example?
