Pronounced "sank-ah-set", literally means "five to seven".
In Canada (especially Québec), a âcinq à septâ is a happy hour event, often but not always following a work day. Despite the literal translation, these events often run from 6:00pm to 8:00pm, or any other block of time after 5:00pm but before 9:00pm.
Do you have plans this evening?
Yeah, I am going to that McGill Alumni cinq à sept. Do you want to come with me?
