意味
Asking if someone is available or has spare time.
文化的背景
In Korean offices, asking 'Do you have time?' is often a formality. If a superior asks you, the expected answer is almost always 'Yes,' unless you have a critical deadline. Asking '{시간|時間} 있어요?' is considered a very safe, 'low-risk' way to flirt. It allows the other person to decline politely without hurting feelings. On KakaoTalk, people often send '시간 돼?' (Time works?) as a way to check if someone is available for a voice call or a quick chat. When asking an elderly person if they have time, it's often more polite to ask about their health or 'well-being' first before jumping into a request for their time.
The 'Jam-si' Buffer
Always add '잠시' (jamsi - a moment) or '잠깐' (jamkkan) before '시간 있어요?' to sound much more polite and less demanding.
Don't just say 'Sigan!'
In English, we might say 'Time?' while pointing at a watch. In Korean, this is rude. Always use the full phrase.

The Indirect 'No'
If someone says '아... 오늘은 좀...' (Ah... today is a bit...), they are saying 'No.' Don't push for a reason; it's their polite way of declining.
Texting Shortcut
In casual texts, you can just write '시간 돼?' which is shorter and very natural.
