How do you say "What do you recommend?" in Japanese?

Quick use

Use おすすめはなんですか (osusume wa nan desu ka) while shopping when you ask for a recommendation. It works well when you want a short answer instead of a long explanation.

Chunk or pattern

• Reusable pattern: 〜 は / なん ですか
• Replace the 〜 part with the thing, place, document, item, or action you need in that scene.
• Good swaps here: これは, このしょるいは, このことばは.

Helper words and endings

• ですか: polite question ending.
• は: marks the topic, often "as for ...".

Practical note

Pointing at the item or screen usually makes the answer faster and clearer.
