What's the correct way to describe cutting a hose but not completely but half (=the hose is 50% cut off)?

Is it natural to say:

I cut the hose halfway?

I'm looking for a way to describe what I want, naturally.

  • Do you mean that you made a cut across the hose (at right angles to its length), but only halfway through? If so, then "halfway through" may be the phrase you want.

"I cut the hose halfway" could mean you didn't cut it completely through. Therefore, the meaning isn't clear. "I cut off half of the hose" is what, I think, you want.

  • Thank you. And how you describe it? "Now it's cut off half"?
