Question
I’m on a business trip in Tokyo, and I need to schedule a meeting with one of our Japanese partners. How do I say “When would it be convenient for you to meet?” in Japanese?

Itsu oai suru no ga go-tsugou ga yoroshii desuka?
When would it be convenient for you to meet?
This is a polite question you can use to inquire about someone’s availability for a meeting. The phrase “itsu” means “when”, “oai suru” means “to meet”, and “go-tsugou ga yoroshii” translates to “convenient for you”.
When scheduling meetings in a business context, it is important to use polite language to show respect. This expression can be adapted to different situations by altering the verb used with “itsu” according to your needs.
