意思
Stating that the current time is late.
文化背景
Punctuality is a core value, so 'already late' carries more weight than in some Western cultures. In international business, this phrase can be perceived as blunt if not softened with 'zannen desu ga' (unfortunately).
Softening the blow
Add 'zannen desu ga' before 'mou osoi desu' to sound more polite.
