      what's the time?
      Have you got time?

        ...shouldn't it be "Have you got THE time?" Without the article it sounds to me
        as if you're asking somebody if they have time to do something with you, help
        you, etc.

        I've also been asked "Have you got a watch?", just like in Poland :-)
        It's possible to say "Do you know what time it is?"

        Languages offer so many possibilities... :-)

          you're right.

          so, the possibilities are:
          What's the time?
          What time is it?
          Have you got the time by any chance?
          Do you have the time, please?
          Excuse me, could you tell me the time, please?
          What's the time please?
          Do you know what the time is?
          ...

            :(
            not 'possibilities'...of kors, ways/methods/...
