What do AM and PM mean? All the info
AM and PM are generally used in English-speaking countries.
- Unlike us, the time is only described with the numbers 1 to 12 and not 1 pm, 10 pm and co.
- Accordingly, it is important to distinguish between morning and afternoon. This is how AM and PM were created
- AM stands for “Ante Meridiem” and means “before noon”. This refers to the period between 0:00 and 11:59 a.m.
- PM is written in full as “Post Meridiem” and stands for “after midday”. This refers to the period from 12:00 to 23:59.
- There are different spellings for AM and PM. So you can also write a.m, p.m, A/M, P/M, A.M and P.M.
