eight-thirty
eight-thirty, 여덟 시 반
The clock emoji shows half past eight. Like the analog clocks we see every day, the long hand points to 6, and the short hand points to 8.
This time is often used in many countries as breakfast or commuting time. It's a time expression that's easy for people all over the world to understand, so it's often used when making appointments.
시계 이모지는 여덟 시 반을 가리키고 있어요. 우리가 매일 보는 아날로그 시계처럼 긴 바늘은 6을 가리키고 짧은 바늘은 8을 가리켜요.
이 시간은 많은 나라에서 아침 식사나 출근 시간으로 자주 사용돼요. 전 세계 사람들이 이해하기 쉬운 시간 표현이라서 약속을 정할 때 자주 써요.
Even in the digital age, analog clock emojis are widely used because of their excellent visual intuitiveness. They are especially useful when explaining time differences in international business or online communication.
This clock emoji was first introduced in Japanese mobile phones in the late 1990s and has since become standardized worldwide. In modern society, it is often used not only for appointment times but also for discussing daily routines and time management.
