Lesson body

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.
