Contexte culturel
Czechs value punctuality. Asking 'Máš čas?' is a way to respect that. The phrase is identical in Slovak, reflecting the shared linguistic heritage. Polish uses 'Masz czas?', which is a cognate and used in the exact same way. Russian uses 'У тебя есть время?' (Do you have time?), which is structurally different but functionally identical.
Long vowels

Formal vs Informal
