Questions & Answers about कितने बजे मिलेंगे? हम बाद में तय करेंगे।
What does कितने बजे mean exactly?
It is the standard way to ask for a clock time: at what time?
So कितने बजे मिलेंगे? means What time shall we meet?
A useful contrast:
- कब मिलेंगे? = When shall we meet? (more general)
- कितने बजे मिलेंगे? = What time shall we meet? (specifically asking for the hour/time)
Why is it कितने बजे and not कितना बजे?
Because कितने बजे is a fixed Hindi time expression.
Hindi says:
- एक बजे = at one o’clock
- दो बजे = at two o’clock
- तीन बजे = at three o’clock
So the natural question form is कितने बजे?
For a learner, it is best to memorize कितने बजे as one set phrase meaning what time.
Why is there no हम in कितने बजे मिलेंगे?
Hindi often drops the subject pronoun when it is already clear from context.
So instead of saying:
- हम कितने बजे मिलेंगे?
speakers often just say:
- कितने बजे मिलेंगे?
The second sentence, हम बाद में तय करेंगे, confirms that the meaning is we.
