    What’s wrong with “25 over 3?” I see the need for half 4 by itself but things being relative to that is so weird to me

      Well, it’s interesting because that would be the case with 15:20. That’d be tjugo över tre (twenty past three). But specifically 15:25 would be fem i halv fyra (five to half four). 15:35 is fem över halv fyra (five past half four).

      And then 15:40 is tjugo i fyra (twenty to four).

      So :25 and :35 are weird edge cases.
