      It just means ’eleven to nineteen’, but Swedes sometimes tell the time in 24h, so I’d guess it means ’11 AM to 7 PM’.

      Can this mean that the time is 18:49?

      No, that could possibly be elva i nitton, not that it's likely anyone would say that since we don't really use the numbers over 12 with i – I'd say elva i sju instead.

          No, for the score 11 - 19, we normally just say "elva nitton".
