In catalan it'd be two quarters of nine, usually shortened to quarters of nine (the two, specifically, is implied). You can also add “and five” (minutes) and “minus five", so 8:20 would be a quarter and five of nine, and 8:40 three quarters minus five of nine. 8:05 would be eight and five, and 8:55 would be nine minus five.
