Il est deux heures et demie de l'après-midi.

Pronunciation: eel eh duh zeur ay duh-mee duh lah-preh-mee-dee

Meaning: It is half past two in the afternoon.

French uses "et demie" (and half) for times ending in :30, and "l'après-midi" distinguishes afternoon time from morning—a useful distinction when telling time throughout the day.
