Hello :)
In Czech language we can read 7:00 not only seven o'clock but also seven oh oh. Is it possible in English as well?
Thank you.
 
You would hear it as 'oh seven hundred' in the military (if you're referring to 7:00 a.m.) Few civilians would express it that way, however.
 
It's okay if the figures are other than "oh-oh", say seven fifteen. With single digit numbers, we usually say something like "five past seven".

Hello. :) (An emoji isn't a replacement for a closing punctuation mark.)

In Czech, language we can read "7:00" not only as "seven o'clock" but also as "seven oh oh". Is it that possible in English as well?

Thank you. Unnecessary. Thank us after we help you, by adding the "Thanks" icon to any response you find helpful.
Note my corrections and comments above.
 
Seven oh one, seven oh two, etc. are fine. But not exactly 7:00. That is just "seven o'clock" or "seven." Never "seven oh oh."
