意思
Asking for the time.
文化背景
Russians typically use the 24-hour clock for official business but the 12-hour clock in conversation. If someone says 'час' (one o'clock), they usually mean 1:00 PM if it's daytime. In big cities, people are very busy. When asking 'Какой сейчас час?', expect a very brief, direct answer. It's not considered rude; it's just the pace of life. The phrase 'Который час?' is often preferred in classical literature (Tolstoy, Dostoevsky) over 'Какой сейчас час?', which feels slightly more modern. It is polite to use 'Извините' (Excuse me) or 'Скажите, пожалуйста' (Tell me, please) before asking the time from a stranger.
The 'Now' Factor
You can omit 'сейчас' and just ask 'Какой час?', but adding 'сейчас' makes it sound more natural and less abrupt.
Gender Matters
Never say 'Какое час'. 'Час' is a man (masculine), so he needs a masculine 'Какой'!

The 'Ordinal' Answer
If someone answers 'Второй час', they mean it's between 1:00 and 2:00. Don't let it confuse you!
Politeness Prefix
Always start with 'Извините' (Excuse me) when asking a stranger. It opens doors!
