(sorry this is in English)
I have a question about Spanish, I was always taught that you are supposed to say menos to tell any time after 30 minutes after but that always makes me tell time slower because I have to do the math, so is it correct to just say for example: Son las nueve y cuarenta instead of Son las diez menos veinte. I know subtracting 20 minutes isn't hard but I like to be able to say it faster and not have to think about it.
