•  언제

26.  언제: If you would like to ask about someone else’s habit or daily routine, you can use this Korean word ‘언제 ’ which means ‘when’ in Korean, so you can use 언제  to ask a question about an unspecified time of the day.

I hope this post will help you to describe your day or in having a conversation about routines in Korean with people around you.
