"Where is the airport?"

Translation: Onde é o aeroporto?

[VisualFuel]

Is there a difference between using "fica" and "é" when asking where something is?

[Paulenrique]

when something can't be moved, use them interchangeably: http://www.duolingo.com/comment/377148

Could you explain to me why "Onde o aeroporto é " doesn't work.
I noticed that for other verbs, this sentence structure makes sense, but why when it comes to BE, it won't work anymore?

[Paulenrique]

It is understood but less common. We don't usually switch pronoun/verb in questions as in English....

Both of the following answers are accepted:

Onde é o aeroporto?
Onde está o aeroporto?

So there's a ser and an estar (sp?) conjugation, and they're both cool.

Why? What sets them apart?

[Lunga311411]

Not sure "estar" should be allowed to work in this context unless it's a mobile airport. "Estar" implies that something is in a temporary state, to my understanding, "Onde está as chaves," or "Onde está minhas meias pretas"

cadê o aeroporto? is not accepted. Why? 22 XII 2021. Walt

When do you use aonde?

[Paulenrique]

Aonde implies destination (to where) aonde = para onde?

[Bibouche05]

"Onde ta" is not correct ? how would you use it, then ?

Onde tá= onde está
