Hello, what is the use of уже́ in the first example? ”Already” doesn’t seem to fit. Thanks.

Hi Anita,
I guess a better translation for уже in this case is “finally”.
Adding уже to a question “when?” gives it a sense of “I can’t wait for it to happen”:
– Ну когда мы уже приедем?
When will we finally get there? (How long do we still need to be on the road? I can’t wait to arrive.)
– Когда ты уже научишься за собой убирать?
When will you finally learn to clean up after yourself?
