じかん時間timeあるthere is

Do you have time?

How it works

This is about as short as a question gets. The noun 時間じかん (time) comes first as what’s in question, and the verb ある (have, exist) follows in plain casual form — used for things rather than people. There’s no です (is) or ます (polite) and no subject, so with the rising (?) it’s a quick, friendly “got time?”
