"Onde fica o restaurante?"

Translation: Where is the restaurant?

[Alejandro_T]

is "where is the restaurant?" really said/written as "onde fica o restaurante?" as opposed to "onde é o restaurante?"

[erudis]

Both are correct.

[Whynotwi1]

is there a fundamental difference between "e", "estar" and "ficar" ? or can everyone of them be used in the same phrase ?

[jfdowd3]

If you go back to the tree, each lesson has a little light bulb that brings you to the "Tips and Notes" associated with that section. The difference between these three is thoroughly explained there.

In general:
Ser - to be, permanently
Estar - to be, temporarily
Ficar - to become

[Deez_Newts]

Then wouldn't a more appropriate translation be "Where will the restaurant be?"?
