Hello,
Again, apologize if you find this question disturbing. This is very simple actually, but I'm not sure which word is going to work:
For this sentence:
It’s almost 9 o’clock. Let’s go to class.
should I use "jihu" or "chabuduo"?
Xianzai jihu jiu dian le. Shang ke ba.
or
Xianzai chabuduo jiu dian le. Shang ke ba.
Thank you very much!

Thank you for the explanation. I got it now. 幾乎 cannot be used because it doesn't collocate with the time expression. :)
Why "幾乎" should not be used? The meaning is also "almost", right? Like "差不多".... This is what I'm confusing around.... :(
Thanks!
