Italian: asking where something is
Use “Dov’è… ?” to turn a place into a location question.
Ready to start.
Ask where the station is in Italian.
Model answerDov’è la stazione?
How this works
Dov’è joins dove (where) and è (is). Put the place after this question opening. Learn the place with its article so you can substitute it accurately.
Build it piece by piece
- Dov’è
- Where is
- la stazione
- the station
- il museo
- the museum
Use the apostrophe and the accent in dov’è.
Worked example
Turn “Il museo è qui.” into a question asking where the museum is.
Dov’è il museo?
Compare this with the model above. Notice what stayed the same and what changed. Read both aloud before continuing; this part is for learning, not scoring.
