How to Say ‘What day would you like?’ in Japanese
何日がよろしいですか。
nan nichi ga yoroshii desu ka
[nahn NEE-chee ga yo-ro-SHEE dess kah]
💬 Usage Tip: 何日 is said (nan-nichi), with 何 becoming (nan) before 日. It can also mean "how many days", but in a booking it asks for the date.
🇯🇵 In Japan: よろしいですか is the polite staff version of いいですか. You'll hear it from staff, but you don't need to use it yourself.
