In everyday Japanese conversations, question words are super important. They help us talk and understand each other better. Here are some key places where you might hear them:

1. Introductions:

   • Asking for someone’s name: “What is your name?” (あなたの名前は何ですか？)

2. Shopping:

   • Finding out prices: “How much is this?” (これはいくらですか？)

3. Directions:

   • Asking for locations: “Where are you going?” (どこへ行きますか？)

4. Social Interactions:

   • Talking about plans: “When are we doing it?” (いつしますか？)

5. Curiosity:

   • Understanding why someone likes something: “Why do you like that?” (何でそれが好きですか？)

Knowing these situations can help you understand Japanese better and make it easier to have smooth conversations.
