I don't understand why this is translated as Where is "this" toilet? Wouldn't it need to be "де цей туалет"?

Should say 'THE toilet' (bathroom) not 'THIS bathroom'!
We used the word 'лизничка' for the 'washroom/bathroom'. I've always thought it was disrespectful to ask 'where the toilet is'. I've always been uncomfortable using the word 'туалет'....in the 'old'days they used to call it an 'оборна' (outhouse), because indoor toilets didn't exist then.
