Hangman Game Feedback

Title:
Could you tell me the time, please?
Answer:
Ne podskAzhete kotOriy chas?
 
Hints:
1. literally: Won't you tell me which hour it is?
2. as you can see many vowels are missing...
3. try 's' :)
 
Equivalents:
1. KotOriy chas?
2. SkOL'ko seychAs vrEmeni? (colloquial)
3. Ne podskAzhete vrEmya?
 
Explanation:
If you're asking a kid, a friend or someone you're on familiar terms with, then it's better to say: Ne podskAzheSH' (mind the ending!) kotoriy chas? The phrase 'SkOL'ko seychas vremeni?' is quite common but is considered by scholars to be low colloquial (vernacular). But it's OK if you're asking a friend, etc.

Instead of "Ne podskAzhete kotOriy chas?", in Bengali we say "Plis Bolun , Akhon Kata Bejechhe"
