  1. time, time of day (time according to the clock)

    Could you tell me the time?

Usage notes

Zeit means "time" as a concept whereas Lua error in Module:utilities at line 142: attempt to perform arithmetic on local 'h' (a nil value) means "time" as in a 'specific time of day'. However, you will often find like most words in German, Zeit can also frequently signify "time" as in 'specific time of day' because of how common shortened clippings are in German.
