Phrase breakdown and usage notes
Quick use
Use なんじまでですか (nanji made desu ka) when you need to ask until what time something is available.
It can be used for counter hours, submission times, same-day processing, or pickup times.
Chunk or pattern
This is best learned as a fixed time question.
It is short, and the full line is more useful than trying to rebuild it.
Core words
なんじ: what time.まで: until.ですか: is it?
Helper words and endings
まで is the key word here. It means “until,” so なんじまで means “until what time.”
Practical note
This is different from いつまでですか (itsu made desu ka), which asks “until when?” for a deadline. なんじまでですか asks for the time of day.
