Ahora tienen.....

This was used to mean "what time do you have" to a group of kids by a passerby in a TV show and I found it odd, but I love to hear new ways to say stuff. Is this kosher to say? Ahora tienen........Gracias.

Are you sure they weren't asked "Qué hora tienen?" I haven't heard "ahora tienen."

Yes. It *must* be "qué hora tienen", pronounced quickly - "quióratienen?" - Gekkosan, May 28, 2010

Another just possible is "¿La hora tienen" - "Can you tell me the time?" rather than "¿que hora tienen?" - "What time is it?"
OK! OK! - normally this would be "Tienen la hora" but I've heard it inverted like this often enough.
PS Hi Jeez - long time no question!! lol

I also think it was '¿que hora tienen? There was a group, right, so that's why the plural....
