✦Grammar Breakdown
Queljourt'arrange?
Quel (interrogative adjective)
‘Quel’ agrees in gender and number with the noun it modifies; here it modifies the masculine singular ‘jour’.
t' (clitic pronoun)
‘t'’ is the contracted form of ‘te’, the second‑person singular object pronoun placed before the verb.
arrange (present 3rd‑person singular)
The verb ‘arranger’ is used impersonally: ‘ça t’arrange’ = ‘does it suit you?’, so the verb is conjugated in the 3rd person singular.
Question word order
In spoken French the interrogative adjective can be placed at the beginning without inversion, followed by the subject‑verb phrase.

✕Common Mistakes
Quel jour t'arranger ?
‘Arranger’ must be conjugated; the infinitive ‘t'arranger’ is incorrect here.
Quel jour vous arrange ?
When speaking informally you use ‘t’’, not the formal ‘vous’. Use ‘Quel jour vous arrange ?’ only in a very formal context, otherwise it sounds stiff.
Quel jour est t'arrange ?
Avoid mixing the verb ‘être’ with ‘arrange’; the correct structure is ‘Quel jour t'arrange ?’ without ‘est’.

Cultural Tip
‘T’arrange’ is a colloquial, friendly way to ask about convenience. In a formal business email you would prefer ‘Quel jour vous convient‑il ?’ or ‘Quel jour vous arrange le mieux ?’. Also, note that French speakers often add ‘ça’ (e.g., ‘Quel jour ça t’arrange ?’) for extra emphasis, but the shorter version is perfectly natural in spoken language.
