'Chiudete' — 'kyu-DE-te'. Three syllables, stress on second. Hard 'ch' + 'u' = 'kyu'.
When you want to return or when the market seems to be winding down. Italian markets have precise timetables — arriving too late means vendors are packing up.
'Chiudete' = you close (second-person plural, addressing the vendor/market). 'A che ora' = at what time. Essential logistics question that also signals you might return later.

Modern way to stay in touch with artisan vendors between markets
Italian markets ('mercati') have strict timetables and rotate locations. Morning markets ('mercati mattutini') run 7am-1pm. There are also afternoon/evening markets in some areas. Many vendors do multiple markets across the week — asking about their schedule helps you find them again.
