你有没有空时间呢 is a wrong sentence.

@rambler That’s interesting. My wife, who is Chinese and has lived in China her entire life says it is a correct sentence.

Apparently, "空时间" is not a valid word.

@rambler it means free time. And it is correct.

<p>this is a very quick question as I do not know any chinese at all, but what does this character mean? I've tried websites that recognize according to handwriting, but it just won't. I tried many times, but I think it may be the font or just my bad handwriting. It just has this one character and that's it, thank you so much!</p>

OP has shown homework (*I've tried websites that recognize according to handwriting, but it just won't. I tried many times, but I think it may be the font or just my bad handwriting.*) - there’s no need to close the question.
