In school, they will teach you to say "Son las nueve menos cinco", which is the equivalent of saying "It five 'til nine" in English.

I can honestly say, that I have met very few Hispanics who understand that (Most of my dealing being with central/south Americans). They are very more apt to say "Son las ocho con cincuenta y cinco".

Son cinco para las nueve (also possible and very common in most Spanish -America)
