"What are your opening hours?" in Chinese is 你们几点开门？ (nǐ men jǐ diǎn kāi mén). The most natural way to ask about opening hours in spoken Chinese isn't a direct translation; it's 几点开门? ('what time do you open the door?'). 开门 (kāimén, open the door) and 关门 (guānmén, close the door) are the colloquial verbs for a business opening and closing.

The most natural way to ask about opening hours in spoken Chinese isn't a direct translation; it's 几点开门? ('what time do you open the door?'). 开门 (kāimén, open the door) and 关门 (guānmén, close the door) are the colloquial verbs for a business opening and closing. In formal contexts; phone calls, official inquiries, emails; use 营业时间是几点到几点? which literally asks 'business hours are from what time to what time.' The particle 啊 (a) at the end of the casual version softens the question; dropping it makes it sound abrupt. In Taiwan you'll hear the same phrases, though 請問 (qǐngwèn) is even more reflexively polite there.
