How to ask "What time is it?" in Chinese
现在几点？
xiànzài jǐ diǎn?
What time is it?
Grammar and structure
The phrase is 现在 (now) + 几点 (what time) + ？ (question mark). 几 means "how many" and 点 means "o'clock," so 几点 literally asks "how many o'clock?" There's no verb needed.
When to use it
Use this in any situation to ask the time, from casual to formal. It's neutral and polite. A common mistake is adding 是 (to be) — 现在是几点 is also correct but less common. For a more polite version, you can add 请问 (qǐngwèn) at the beginning: 请问现在几点？
