Lesson body

Rendered from one markdown file

Quick use

Use つぎはなんですか (tsugi wa nan desu ka) in or around stations when you ask about the next stop. 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.
  • : marks the topic, often "as for ...".

Practical note

Station staff usually answer faster if they can also see the destination, map, or route on your phone.
