English term or phrase: What time will he arrive?
Hello,

I need to make an urgent call to a colleague who is in the Netherlands. He is staying with relatives who don't speak Engish, and I don't know enough Dutch to ask when my friend will arrive!

Thanks for the help!

(Om) Hoe laat zal hij aankomen?


Explanation:
- (Om) hoe laat komt hij aan? is another option using a present tense instead of a future tense (which makes no difference) in Dutch
