Questions & Answers about jibin no shukkoujikoku ni oujite, furikae o erabu.
What does 次便 mean here?
次便 literally means the next service/run/departure.
The word 便 is used for scheduled transportation services, such as:
- flights
- buses
- ferries
- delivery services
So 次便 often means:
- the next flight
- the next ferry
- the next scheduled service
Because this sentence also uses 出港, it strongly suggests a ship or ferry context, so here it is probably the next boat/ferry service rather than an airplane.
Why is there a の in 次便の出港時刻?
The の links two nouns together.
- 次便 = the next service
- 出港時刻 = departure time from port
So:
- 次便の出港時刻 = the departure time of the next service
You can think of A の B here as B of A or A’s B.
This is a very common noun-linking pattern in Japanese.
