"Onde fica o aeroporto?"

Translation: Where is the airport?

[slearch]

Can one say "Onde esta o aeroporto" or "Onde e o aeroporto"? Or should you use "fica" when asking where places are?

[Paulenrique]

Why is "Aonde fica o aeroporto?" wrong?
I'm not sure when to use Onde or Aonde?

[503.gT2UXUMKx4VF]

There is a subtle diffference between onde and aonde.

A) Onde: it indicates places, localization, state and/or permanence. You will use it with verbs like estar, morar, ficar, colocar and others.

B) Aonde: it indicates places and/or localization giving the idea of movement (the a gives this idea when attached to onde). You will use it with verbs like ir, chegar, dirigir and others.

A.1) Aonde você vai?

B.1) Para saber aonde vou, primeiramente preciso saber onde estou.

A.2) Aonde você levou meu celular?

B.2) Levei-o aonde você me pediu.

A.3) Onde você deixou meu celular?

B.3) Deixei-o onde você me pediu.

Muito bem feito. Obrigada.

Could this mean "How does one get to the airport"? Ficar has the informal meaning "to get" although that disposes of the word "Onde" unless you wanted to know where to go to get to the airport?
