空闲

空闲 refers to free time or leisure, typically when someone is not occupied with work or other obligations. It emphasizes availability for personal activities or relaxation, distinguishing it from busyness or work-related time.

The character 空 (kōng) means 'empty' or 'unoccupied,' while 闲 (xián) means 'leisure' or 'idle.' Together, they convey the idea of having time that is not taken up by duties, making 空闲 a term associated with rest and personal freedom.

In daily use, 空闲 is often used in contexts like scheduling, work-life balance, or planning activities. For example, people might say they have 空闲 to go out or relax. It's also commonly used in professional settings to ask if someone is available for meetings or tasks.
