来得及

lai de ji
At the A1 level, you should think of **来得及 (láidejí)** as a simple 'Yes/No' answer to the question 'Is there time?'. Imagine you are walking to a classroom with a friend. You look at your watch and see you have 5 minutes. You say: '来得及!' (We can make it!). It is one of the first 'potential complements' you learn, even if you don't know the grammar rules yet. Just remember it as a single block of meaning: 'Time is enough.' You don't need to worry about complex sentences yet; just use it to reassure people when you are in a hurry.
At the A2 level, you start using **来得及** in short sentences with other verbs. For example, '来得及吃饭' (Have time to eat). You should also learn its opposite, **来不及** (láibují), which means 'no time left'. A2 learners should practice using '还' (hái) with it, as in '还来得及' (still have time). This is very common in daily life when catching buses, finishing homework, or meeting friends. You should be able to ask a simple question like '现在去，来得及吗？' (If we go now, will we make it in time?).
For B1 learners, **来得及** becomes a tool for negotiation and planning. You might use it in a work context to discuss deadlines: '如果今天加班，我们就来得及完成任务' (If we work overtime today, we will be able to finish the task in time). You should also understand that it implies a sense of 'potential'. It's not just about having hours on a clock; it's about the feasibility of an action within a timeframe. You can start using it with more abstract concepts, like '来得及改变主意' (still have time to change one's mind).
At the B2 level, you should be comfortable with the grammatical structure of **来得及** as a potential complement. You should understand why it's '来+得+及' and how it differs from '能来' or '可以来'. You will use it in more complex sentence structures, such as '只要...就来得及' (As long as... then there's still time). You should also recognize it in written Chinese, where it might appear in news reports or stories to create a sense of tension or relief regarding a deadline or a narrow escape.
C1 learners should master the nuances between **来得及** and its synonyms like '赶得上' or '及时'. You should be able to use it in formal speeches or writing to discuss social trends or historical opportunities. For example, '现在对环境进行保护还来得及' (It is still not too late to protect the environment). At this level, you should also be aware of its use in idiomatic or semi-literary contexts where the 'time' being discussed is metaphorical, such as the 'time' in one's life to achieve a dream or find happiness.
At the C2 level, **来得及** is used with total native-like flexibility. You can use it to express subtle irony, deep regret (usually in the negative '来不及'), or philosophical reflections on the nature of time. You understand its role in the rhythm of a sentence and can use it in high-level literature or academic debates. You might analyze how the phrase functions in classical-influenced modern prose, or use it to discuss the 'window of opportunity' in complex geopolitical or economic scenarios where timing is everything.

来得及 30秒で

  • 来得及 (láidejí) means 'there is still time' and is used to express that a deadline or event can still be met successfully.
  • It is a potential complement where '得' indicates the possibility of 'reaching' (及) the required time or state.
  • The negative form is always '来不及' (láibují); never use '不来得及', which is a common grammatical error for learners.
  • It can be used alone as a reassurance or followed by a verb to specify what action there is still time to complete.

The phrase 来得及 (láidejí) is a cornerstone of daily Chinese communication, specifically functioning as a potential complement. At its most fundamental level, it signifies that there is sufficient time remaining to accomplish a specific goal, reach a destination, or complete a task before a deadline. Unlike simple time expressions, 来得及 carries a sense of possibility and reassurance. It is the verbal equivalent of saying, "The window of opportunity is still open."

Core Concept
Temporal sufficiency. It indicates that the current speed or timing is adequate to meet a future requirement.
Grammatical Nature
It is an inseparable unit. You cannot say '来及' or '得及' on their own in this context. The '得' indicates potentiality.
Opposite Pair
Its direct antonym is 来不及 (láibují), meaning 'there is not enough time' or 'to be too late'.

“别担心，现在出发还来得及。” (Don't worry, if we leave now, there's still time.)

— Common reassuring phrase in transit

“只要努力，什么时候开始都来得及。” (As long as you work hard, it's never too late to start.)

In a broader philosophical sense, 来得及 is often used to encourage people who feel they have missed their chance. Whether it's learning a new language, changing careers, or reconciling with a friend, this phrase provides the linguistic bridge between 'now' and 'success'. It emphasizes that the 'deadline' is often more flexible than we perceive.

“电影八点才开始，我们先吃饭也来得及。” (The movie doesn't start until eight; we have time to eat first.)

“还有十分钟，跑过去应该来得及。” (There are still ten minutes; running there should get us there in time.)

“快点！再不走就来不及了！” (Hurry up! If we don't go now, we won't make it! — Note the contrast here.)

Using 来得及 effectively requires understanding its two primary sentence patterns. It can either stand alone as a complete predicate or be followed by a verb phrase that describes the action you are trying to complete in time.

1. Standalone Usage

When the context is already clear (e.g., catching a bus, finishing a test), you can simply say 来得及. It functions as the main verb of the sentence.

A: 飞机还有两小时起飞，我们现在走行吗？
B: 来得及。

2. Followed by a Verb Phrase

To specify what you have time to do, use the pattern: [Subject] + 来得及 + [Verb/Action].

Example A
我来得及吃早饭。(I have time to eat breakfast.)
Example B
他还来得及修改报告。(He still has time to revise the report.)

3. Questions and Negations

To ask if there is enough time, use the particle 吗 (ma) or the affirmative-negative form.

  • 来得及吗？ (Is there enough time?)
  • 来得及来不及？ (Can you make it or not?)
  • 来不及 (The negative form — Note: You cannot say '不来得及').

Furthermore, 来得及 is often preceded by adverbs like 还 (hái - still), 总 (zǒng - always/eventually), or 肯定 (kěndìng - definitely) to add nuance to the level of certainty regarding the time available.

You will encounter 来得及 in almost every environment where time management and deadlines are relevant. Its frequency in spoken Mandarin is exceptionally high because it addresses a universal human concern: the fear of being late.

1. Transportation Hubs

Airports, train stations, and bus stops are the natural habitats for this phrase. You'll hear travelers anxiously asking staff, "检票还来得及吗?" (Is there still time for ticket checking?) or friends reassuring each other while running toward a gate.

2. The Workplace

In professional settings, it's used to discuss project deadlines. A manager might ask, "周五前能做完吗？" (Can it be finished by Friday?), to which a confident employee responds, "没问题，来得及。" (No problem, there's enough time.)

3. Academic Settings

Students use it constantly regarding homework, exam preparation, and university applications. "现在开始复习还来得及吗？" (Is it still in time to start reviewing now?) is a classic phrase heard in dormitories across China during finals week.

4. Social Life

When meeting friends for dinner or a movie, 来得及 is used to coordinate schedules. If someone is running 5 minutes late, the other might say, "不急，电影还没开始，来得及。" (No rush, the movie hasn't started, we'll make it.)

Even though 来得及 is an A2 level word, its unique structure as a potential complement leads to several persistent errors among learners. Avoiding these will significantly improve your fluency.

Mistake 1: Incorrect Negation

The most frequent error is saying 不来得及. In Chinese potential complements, the '得' (de) is replaced by '不' (bu) to form the negative. Therefore, the only correct negative is 来不及.

Mistake 2: Confusing with '有时间'

While 来得及 and 有时间 (yǒu shíjiān) both relate to time, they are not always interchangeable. 有时间 simply means "to have time" (possessive), whereas 来得及 specifically means "to have enough time to meet a deadline or event."

  • Correct: 我有时间学中文。(I have time to learn Chinese — general availability).
  • Correct: 考试还有一小时，我现在复习还来得及。(I still have time to review before the exam — deadline focused).

Mistake 3: Misplacing the Object

Learners sometimes try to put the object between '来' and '及'. Remember, 来得及 is a fixed unit. The object or the following action must come after the entire phrase.

❌ 来得车及 (Wrong)
✅ 来得及赶车 (Right - Have time to catch the bus)

Mistake 4: Using it for Physical Space

来得及 is strictly for time. If you want to say you can reach a physical height or distance, you would use 够得着 (gòudezháo) or other complements, not 来得及.

To truly master 来得及, you should understand how it compares to other words that deal with timing and punctuality. Chinese has a rich vocabulary for expressing 'being in time'.

1. 赶得上 (gǎndeshàng)

This is the closest synonym. While 来得及 focuses on the time remaining, 赶得上 focuses on the physical act of catching up or reaching a moving target (like a bus or a trend). They are often interchangeable when talking about transport.

2. 及时 (jíshí)

This is an adjective/adverb meaning "timely" or "in time." It describes an action that happened at the right moment. 来得及 is about the possibility of being in time, while 及时 describes the quality of the timing.

"医生来得很及时。" (The doctor came just in time / timely.)

3. 准时 (zhǔnshí)

This means "on time" or "punctual." It refers to following a schedule exactly. 来得及 is more flexible; it just means you aren't late yet.

4. 趁早 (chènzǎo)

Meaning "while it's still early" or "before it's too late." It is often used as advice to do something now because later it might be 来不及.

Reassurance

Use '还来得及' to comfort friends who are stressed about being late; it's a very kind phrase.

Synonym Usage

If you are talking about catching a bus, '赶得上' sounds slightly more native, but '来得及' is also 100% correct.

Key Sounds

Listen for the 'ji' at the end; it's a sharp, high sound that signals the end of the phrase.

Placement

If you use a verb after it, don't put any particles like '了' between '来得及' and the verb.

Flexibility

In China, '来得及' can sometimes be a bit optimistic. If someone says it, they might still be in a hurry!

Potentiality

Remember the '得' represents 'possibility'. It's about what is *possible* within the time frame.

Standalone

You can use '来得及' as a one-word answer to many questions about timing.

No '不'

Never say '不来得及'. If you feel the urge to say 'bu', put it in the middle: '来不及'.
