How to Say "P" in French - How To Say Guide

p is the French equivalent of the English abbreviation p.m.

Did you know?

The letter p does not exist as a standalone abbreviation for 'post meridiem' in the French language, unlike in English.
The French word midi not only means 'noon' but also refers to the 'South' of France, as the sun is at its highest point in the southern sky.
While English speakers use 'p.m.' for everything after noon, French speakers might switch from de l'après-midi to du soir as early as 5 or 6 p.m.

La pièce commence à 14 h.
The play begins at 2 p.m.
This example shows how to use p to indicate a starting time.
