You don't say stuff like "half ten" in English, it's called "half past ten" which means 10.30 (or 22.30). In Danish and Swedish, when someone says "half ten" (in their language), that means 9.30 (or 21.30). 

I can't believe you all didn't know that. It's an important difference.
huh but she just said that they do in fact say that
"So when British people (at least here) say half two"
Saying "half" without using "past" is not correct English as far as I know.

Yeah, I learned half past in school, but here they only say half which is confusing as half in Norwegian is the 30 min before and not after

It might not be correct, but people say it so

Oh, okay, might be an informal thing to use "half" without "past" then. Anyways, what I wrote earlier still stands. If you say half ten or half past ten in English, that's 10.30 (or 22.30), while in Swedish and Danish, that would mean 9.30 (or 21.30).

although only half ten would be 9:30
half past ten wouldnt translate to 9:30 cause past literally states that its after ten

But do you say "half past" in Norwegian? At least in Swedish and Danish it's always just called half something, you can't say "half past".
