I responded "Is the toilet here?" and was marked wrong. Don't they make the same sense?

How would you say is there a bathroom here

I said is the bathroom here but it says it's wrong and must be "is there". How do you get that with no это in the original sentence?

How does: "Is the bathroom here?" differ from "is there a bathroom here" in Russian?

It's kind of odd but where I live people say half-bath or half bathroom for a bathroom with only a toilet and sink. We also refer to bathrooms as a bathroom, men's room, ladies' room, restroom, etc because toilet comes across as a little impolite or mildly crude. I really only hear children say toilet and that's still pretty rare.

TLDR: Americans are weird and think the word toilet is gross. (At least where I live.)

The English translation feels odd.

If I want to know if something or someplace is 'here', at the location I am - 'I ask : Is here a toilet' (more likely 'do you have a toilet here)

If I want to know if something is at a certain location I am not at the moment, I ask 'Is there a toilet?' or 'Do they have a toilet there'

I am not a native speaker - but the structure : Is there - here sounds pretty awkward. Am I right or do I miss something?

Wtf, is more like an english lesson or what does this app stands for?
