This came up in the lessons, although it won't be incorporated in them.
The lessons say you can say "ma tcika ti" for "what time is it?" Is there
a sumti representing "here-and-now" which can substitute for "ti"?

What meaning of "here and now" are you trying for that is not adequatelyexpressed by "ti"? I can't see using "ti" in a situation other than inreference to something "here and now" for the speaker.
