Lesson body
Phrase breakdown and usage notes
Quick use
Use どのまどぐちですか (dono madoguchi desu ka) when you know what you need to do, but do not know which counter handles it.
Chunk or pattern
This is a fixed practical question.
Learn the whole line first. At a public office, まどぐち (madoguchi) is the important word.
Core words
どの: which.まどぐち: service counter / window.
Helper words and endings
ですか makes the phrase a polite question.
Practical note
This is more specific than asking only どこですか (doko desu ka). It asks for the correct counter, not just a general location.
