鐘面報時方式嘅問句。回答句式係「搭Y」，Y可以係1至12任何一個數字，以表達鐘面長針(分針)所在位置，但若Y位置響12，會以「搭正」代替；如Y位置響6，則以「搭半」代替 request for the time as given by the minute hand position; the answer format is "on Y," where Y is a number from 1 to 12; if Y falls on 12, one says 搭正daap6 zeng3 "on exact" (meaning X o'clock sharp); if Y falls on 6, one would say 搭半daap6 bun3 "on half" (meaning half past the hour)
