How do you say "What do I do next?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use つぎはなにをしますか (tsugi wa nani o shimasu ka) after finishing one step and not knowing what to do next.

It is useful after you submit a form, receive a number ticket, or finish talking to one counter.

Chunk or pattern

This is best learned as one practical question.

The whole line asks for the next action, so you do not need to rebuild it word by word at first.

Core words

• つぎ: next.
• なに: what.
• します: do.

Helper words and endings

• は: marks つぎ as the topic, like “as for next.”
• を: marks the thing or action.
• ますか: polite question ending after a verb.

Practical note

This phrase is useful when the procedure has multiple steps. It helps you avoid standing around after one step is finished.
