Ima Nanji Desuka?

I've switched my settings to Japan time. Fine, maybe a bit early. One week from now I'll be in Tokyo.

Here's a quick way to figure it out -- if it's ６ p.m. in the U.S., add five and switch to A.M. So 7 p.m. becomes 11 a.m. (Note: this changes with daylight savings and all of that. For part of the year you just add four hours and switch the A.M/P.M.

I have already started sleeping during the day -- but that's because it's finals week, which for me, means vacation, because it's the one week of the term we do not publish at The Daily Barometer

Now, a Japanese lesson, which step-sister Jenny can repeat with ease, while mother cannot --

What time is it?
"Ima, nanji desu ka?"

Ima 今 - Now
Nan 何　－What
Ji　時　－Signifies time
Desu　です　－Grammar thing, hard to explain
Ka　か　－Signifies question

Got it?
