How to answer in Japan
★ Say that you will call again yourself. Do not make them call you back. Ask when that person will be there.
⭕️ A good answer
何時ごろお戻りになりますか。そのころ、またお電話します。
What time will they be back? I will call again then.
❌ Not enough
じゃあ、また今度でいいです。
“Then another time is fine.” This sounds like you have given up, and nobody will follow it up for you.
A question, a request, or something you wish were here? Tell me.
