xià wǔ liǎng diǎn kě yǐ ma

Phrase Breakdown

下午兩點，

xià wǔ liǎng diǎn

two o'clock in the afternoon

下午 (xiàwǔ) means 'afternoon' and 兩點 (liǎng diǎn) means 'two o'clock'. Use 兩, not 二, when telling the time. 兩 and 點 are both third tone, so 兩 changes to a rising tone when you say them together.

Example

我們下午兩點見面。

Let's meet at two in the afternoon.
