How to say "a quarter past nine" in Chinese? I just found this question, on which the OP asked the meaning of 差一刻九点. The answer is "a quarter to nine".

Now I wonder how you can express "a quarter past nine" in Chinese? The first thing I came up with is 过一刻九点, but is it correct?

Also, is there any variations by region?
九点一刻 is 9:15 - but more often you'd just heard/use 九点十五分.

差一刻九点 is okay, but again more likely you'd just heard/use 八点四十五。
