Ji dian le ?

"Jĭ" is a special question word that can be considered a noun prefix relating to time, date, number or age. Note, however, " jĭ " often denotes a number less than ten. As a result, for instance, it is considered wrong, a bad manner or even an insult to use " Jĭsuī le " when asking the age of an adult.
