How do you say “Where are you going?” in Japanese?
Today’s phrase is :
Where are you going?
どこ行くの？
doko ikuno
- Where ? ＝ どこ？ doko
- are you going ＝ あなたは行くの* anatawa ikuno
*We do not usually say “あなたは (anatawa)” in everyday conversation.
どこ
where
＋
行くの
are going
If you want to ask politely, you can say :
どこ行くんですか？
doko ikundesuka
