how to pronounce 2000 in military time infographic

2000 military time is pronounced as “Twenty Hundred Hours”.

You may hear people casually say “8 PM military time,” “20:00 military time,” or “8 military time,” but in professional or official settings, the correct pronunciation is always used to avoid mistakes.

Pronunciation Rules:

Hour is spoken as the full number (“Twenty”).
Minutes are spoken as whole numbers (“Zero Five,” “Twelve,” “Forty-Five”).
Always end with the word “hours” for total clarity.

For Minutes: The last two digits (00) stay exactly the same.
Insert Colon: Add a colon between the hour and minutes: (8:00).
Add AM/PM: Military time was higher than 1200, so we add PM: (8:00 PM).
