空儿

空兒

kòngr

noun HSK 3 #33,906

Meanings

空 (kòng) means 'free time' here. The 儿 suffix makes it colloquial and casual — a little gap of free time.

Nǐ yǒu kòngr ma?

Do you have free time?

Děng yǒu kòngr wǒ qù zhǎo nǐ.

I'll come find you when I have time.

Wǒ zuìjìn méi shénme kòngr.

I don't have much free time lately.

usage

空儿 is the erhua (儿化) form of 空 (kòng). In southern China, people are more likely to say 有空 without the 儿 suffix.

grammar

Note the 4th tone (kòng) here, different from 空 (kōng, empty). 有空 = have free time.

空 kōng
