2. Interrogative Sentence

When: Itsu: いつ： 何時 Itsu can also be read "nan ji" or "nan toki" and literally means "what time"... You want to use "itsu" when asking when something is, and "nan ji" for "what time (is it)" .... and "nan toki" you may not hear often enough to be bothered with... but I suppose you can still keep your ears open for it Who:

Dare:

だれ： 誰

What: Nani: なに： 何 Nani will actually be pronounced "nan" much more often than it will be pronounced "nani". "nani" is more of a "what?" like a "what did you say?" or "what?" like when someone walks up to you and you know they want something, or when asking what someone is doing. and "nan" is for everything else "what is that?" "what color is it?"

What color:
