have free time

A common response to '有时间吗？' is '有时间' (I have time) or '没时间' (I don't have time).

有时间 is used to indicate availability, not possession of time as a physical object.

有 (yǒu) means 'to have' and 时间 (shíjiān) means 'time'. The phrase combines these two words to express availability.

Used in both casual and formal contexts. More common in spoken Chinese than written.
