The format dd.mm.yyyy using dots (which denote ordinal numbering) is the traditional German date format, [65] and continues to be the most commonly used. In 1996, the international format yyyy-mm-dd was made the official date format in standardized contexts such as government, education, engineering and sciences.
Since portions of the population continued to use the old format, the traditional format was re-introduced as alternative to the standard YYYY-MM-DD format to DIN 5008 in 2001 and DIN ISO 8601 in September 2006 but its usage is restricted to contexts where misinterpretation cannot occur. The expanded form of the date (e.g., 31.

In Czech quarters and halves always refer to the following hour, e.g. čtvrt na osm (quarter on eight) meaning 7:15, půl osmé (half of eight) meaning 7:30 and tři čtvrtě na osm (three-quarters on eight) meaning 7:45. This corresponds to the time between 7:00 and 8:00 being the eighth hour of the day (the first hour starting at midnight).
negyed 8 (quarter 8) – 7:15; fél 8 (half 8) – 7:30; háromnegyed 8 (three-quarter 8) – 7:45; Combining the above with 5 perc múlva (5 minutes before) or 5 perccel múlt (5 minutes after) is commonly used when asked for the time. Example: 5 perc múlva háromnegyed 8 – 7:40; 3 perccel múlt 7 – 7:03
The second format is defined by the Czech State Norm (ČSN 01 6910) based on ISO standards. It accepts the ISO format (2009-12-01 and 03:15) and allows simplified traditional formatting and/or globalised formatting such as leading zeroes or omitted spaces (01.12.2009). [1] The second norm is intended for technical devices and tabular output.
Metric (SI) measurements generally use decimals, not fractions (5.25 mm, not 5 1 ⁄ 4 mm). Non-metric (imperial and US customary) measurements may use fractions or decimals (5 1 ⁄ 4 inches; 5.25 inches); the practice of reliable sources should be followed, and within-article consistency is desirable.
The European date format is date month year, as opposed to the US format which swaps the date and month (see example below). Following Wikipedia preferences, we also do not put a comma between the date and month, and the year. For example: 9 May 1951 instead of May 9 1951; 9 May 1951 instead of 9 May, 1951; 9 May instead of May 9th
