Question
I’m traveling to Japan for business and have several meetings lined up. I want to make sure I’m punctual. How do I politely ask, “What time is our meeting?” in Japanese when speaking to a colleague?

Watashitachi no kaigi wa nanji desuka?
What time is our meeting?
This is a formal and polite way to ask about the timing of a meeting. Watashitachi no means “our”; kaigi means “meeting”; and nanji means “what time”. It’s important to be clear and polite in business settings.
You can adapt this expression by replacing kaigi with other words depending on what you want to inquire about, such as “仕事 (しごと, shigoto)” for work or “プレゼン (purezen)” for presentation.
