You ask a clerk at the airport in Tokyo in Japanese, “Where can I find my gate?” However, as you make your way through the crowd, you’ve already forgotten the new Japanese words the Japanese clerk said about the gate. Did he say the clock “is” the gate in Japanese? Or did he say the clock is to the “left of the gate” in Japanese? Maybe he said it is to the “right of the gate” in Japanese.
