いつ (itsu) — when?

The question word for asking about time — "when?"

Formula (सूत्र ढाँचा)

いつ when (no particle)
行きますか do you go?

Grammar rule (व्याकरण नियम र परिभाषा)

いつ asks "when" about time. It comes at the start, and the question marker か is added at the end: いつ日本へ行きますか = "When do you go to Japan?" Important — no particle (は, を, に) follows いつ. Answers use a time word like 明日 (ashita = tomorrow) or あさって (asatte = the day after tomorrow).
