Questions & Answers about kèfángfúwù jǐ diǎn jiéshù?

Why is the word order 客房服务 几点 结束 and not something like 几点 客房服务 结束?

Chinese usually puts the topic or subject first, then the time question, then the verb.

So the structure here is:

• 客房服务 = room service
• 几点 = at what time
• 结束 = end

So it follows a very normal Chinese pattern:

[thing being talked about] + [when] + [verb]

That is why 客房服务几点结束？ sounds natural.

A very literal breakdown is:

• Room service
  • what time
    • ends?

English uses a different word order, so it becomes:

• What time does room service end?

What exactly does 客房服务 mean?

客房服务 means room service in a hotel.

It is made up of:

• 客房 = guest room / hotel room
• 服务 = service

Together, 客房服务 refers to the service provided to hotel rooms, especially food or assistance ordered to the room.

In real hotel contexts, this is a very common term.
