"I am going to be a half an hour late" sounds unexpected. "I will be there half an hour late" sounds planned. "I ran into some traffic! I am going to be a half hour late!" "My meeting doesn't get out until 5pm. I will be a half an hour late to the 4:30 movie showing."

@chxmxstry: thank you a lot! but i've been taught that 'a half hour' is grammarly not correct.

americans say 'a half hour' more than 'half an hour'?????

A half hour is more slang or used informally with friends. A half an hour is more formal. But you are correct a half hour is not grammatically correct.

@jickoon: A half hour 는 틀리지 않아요 :) 상황에 따라서 half an hour 말고 그 문장 쓰셔야 돼요.

얘를 들어,
It was a half hour drive from my house.

It is a half hour program.

이런 경우에서 a half hour 더 자연스럽고 맞는 표현이에요 :)

그리고 get out는... 음 사실은 제 생각엔, 그 표현은 좀 어색한 편이에요! 그런데 뜻은 "end" 같은 뜻이에요 :)

My meeting doesn't get out until 5pm = my meeting doesn't end until 5pm.

@Vicinian: 감사합니다! 근데요 i will be there a half hour late에서 late 대신에 later을 쓰면 (a half hour later) 문장 뜻이 완전 달라지죠?

@jickoon: 음 뜻은 다르긴 다른데, 너무 너무 다르지 않은 거 같아요 :)

I will be there half an hour late - 저는 거기에서 30분 늦게 있을 거에요

I will be there half an hour later - 저는 거기에서 30분 더 늦게 있을 거에요.

번역이 안 자연스럽다면 죄송해요!! :(

@Vicinian: (on the phone)
A:hey, where you at? we are running late! it's just 15 minute left!

B:i'm so sorry. i'm heading there. but i will be there a half hour (late/later)

여기서 late 쓰면 45분 뒤에 도착하는거고 (15+30)

later 쓰면 그냥 간단하게 말하는순간으로부터(from the moment of speaking) 30분 늦는다는거죠?
