What does moins et quart mean in french?

"Moins et quart" in French literally means "less and quarter". It's a way to express a time that is 15 minutes before the hour.

Here's how it works:

* "Moins" means "less".

* "Et quart" means "and quarter", referring to a quarter of an hour (15 minutes).

For example:

* "Il est trois heures moins et quart" means "It is 2:45" (3 hours minus 15 minutes).

It's important to note that this way of telling time is more common in some parts of the French-speaking world than others. In some regions, they might use "moins le quart" or "moins un quart" instead.
