有空儿

• 拼音: yǒu kòngr
• 汉字拆解: 有 = 又 (hand) + 月 (meat/moon), meaning 'to have'; 空 = 穴 (cave) + 工 (work), meaning 'empty/free'; 儿 = erhua suffix

含义

To have free time; to be available. Indicates that someone is not busy and has leisure time.

A very common colloquial expression. 空儿 (with the erhua suffix) is the northern/Beijing pronunciation; in southern regions, people often say 有空 without the 儿. Used when inviting someone or checking their availability. The opposite is 没空 (no free time/busy).

例句

1. 你明天有空儿吗？我想请你吃饭。
2. 我周末有空儿，可以帮你搬家。
3. 最近太忙了，一直没有空儿。
