Indicating that the time is past an appropriate point.
문화적 배경
Punctuality is a sign of respect. Using '太晚了' is a common way to excuse oneself from a social gathering. Similar to the mainland, but often used with more polite particles like '喔' or '啦' to soften the tone. In Cantonese-speaking areas, the sentiment is the same, though the spoken form might differ slightly in pronunciation. Often used in a mix of English and Chinese, '太晚了' is understood by all generations.
The '了' factor
Always include '了' at the end to make it sound natural and complete.
Softening the blow
If you need to say no to someone, '太晚了' is a polite way to end the discussion.
