The Western Counting System uses standard time based on East Africa Time (EAT, UTC+3). It commonly follows either the 12-hour format with AM/PM or the 24-hour format (e.g., 14:00 for 2 PM).
The Ethiopian Counting System starts the day at dawn. It counts the hours from that point forward and typically uses phrases like "in the morning" or "in the evening" instead of AM/PM.
