Meaning

Are you free tomorrow?

Casual speech among friends. Literally “does tomorrow work time-wise?” 시간 돼요? is the polite form and the go-to way to ask about plans.

Romanization follows the Revised Romanization system and is a guide to pronunciation.

Ask a friend whether they are free tomorrow. 시간 되다 means that time works for them.

Spell it 돼, not 되, because 돼 is short for 되어. With elders or a boss, add -시- and say 내일 시간 되세요?.
