Where is..

Last thing we want is people not being able to find the bathroom! This section will teach you to ask where the (object/location/person) is.

Where is the teacher?
Sensei wa doko desu ka?
せんせいはどこですか。

As you can see, Sensei means teachers. The word doko literally means 'where'. You may have also noticed, we use 'desu ka' rather then 'desu'. Using 'desu ka' will make what you are saying a question.

Again you can use parts of the previous posts to add to this sentence. For example using 'my', watashi no.

Where is my teacher?
Watashi no sensei wa doko desu ka?
わたしのせんせいはどこですか。

You should now easily be able to ask where anything is by exchanging the word 'sensei' from the previous sentence for the (object/location/person) your looking for.
For example:

(object/location/person) wa doko desu ka?
(object/location/person) はどこですか。

Where is Warren?
Warren san wa doko desu ka?
ウォーレンさんはどこですか。

Note that when you say someones name you will place 'san' on the end. This is like Mr, Miss and a basic sign of respect. Though you never add 'san' to the end of your own name. So for me, I would say: Joshu san, Maku san, Meri san, Kuin(no 'san' as it is my own name).

Where is the phone?
Denwa wa doko desu ka?
でんわはどこですか。
(Denwa meaning 'phone')

Things you may want to find:

Phone - Denwa - でんわ
Toilet - Toire - トイレ
Bus - Basu - バス
Train station - Eki - えき
Bank - Ginko - ぎんこう
TV Remote - Terebi no Rimokon - テレビのリモコン

Take time to slowly learn the new words and try asking where they are. Remember you can also add 'watashi no' at the start to ask where 'my' (object) is.

Enjoy!
