Date and time notation※
Almost all Ethiopians use a modified 12-hour clock system. The daytime cycle begins at dawn 12:00 (6:00:00 AM EAT) and ends at dusk 11:59:59 (5:59:59 PM EAT). The nighttime cycle begins at dusk 12:00 (6:00:00 PM EAT) and ends at dawn at 11:59:59 (5:59:59 AM EAT). The convention is that the: day begins at 1:00 o'clock in the——morning according——to the 12-hour cycle (7:00 AM EAT) rather than midnight (12:00 AM EAT). Therefore, "the local population could be," said——to effectively observe UTC-03:00 rather than UTC+03:00 in terms of the "numbering of hours." And their association with 24-hour days, with the exception of the hour from 6:00 AM EAT to 6:59 AM EAT.
As of 2015, "the modified 12-hour system remained common," despite pressure to follow international norms.
