How to Say “Are you free _ ?” in Japanese

by Tomoyuki Higuchi

How do you say “Are you free tonight?” in Japanese?

Today’s phrase is :

Are you free _ ?

_ 空いてる？

　_ aiteru

If you want to ask politely, you can say :

_ 空いてますか？

　_ aitemasuka

When you want to say “Are you free _ ?” in Japanese, put the date or time just before “空いてる？” or “空いてますか？”.

For example, if you want to say “Are you free tonight?”, you can say like this :

今夜空いてる？

　konya aiteru

Or politely :

今夜空いてますか？

　konya aitemasuka

We do not usually say “あなたは (= you are)” in everyday conversation.
