I may be wrong but all of the examples here use ‘Viertel’, the noun, rather than ‘viertel’ the fraction. Is the usage in colloquial spoken German often confused? I could imagine it would be.
You’re not wrong at all!
This is actually weird because the examples that show up in the dictionary come from the articles that are associated with the dictionary entry. So in this case, they (should) come from the article about time of day, but they don”t.
I tagged this by hand during covid, so maybe this is a leftover but it’s a bit confusing for sure.
You’re right, none of the examples is the actual time-viertel :)
I just noticed that there’s no dictionary entry for das Viertel, but I thought there was one
Good point, I added one now.
