Shouldn't the Portuguese sentence be "Onde esta (with the accent) a cozinha"?
'onde' is used for a place that you are, does not indicate movement.
and 'aonde' is used for a place you will, indicate movement. 'Aonde' is equal 'a+onde' (preposition + word)
Examples: De onde ele é? Onde está a bola que te dei? Você sabe onde fica essa loja? A chave está onde você deixou
Aonde ele foi? Aonde você vai usando essa roupa? Ainda não sei aonde iremos
But, in informal portuguese, many people use only 'onde', they rarely use 'aonde'
Is the "nh" in cozinha pronounced like the ñ in Spanish? I can't tell by the woman's robot voice.
I have not yet seen this in any of the movies ive seen. Dont they just use cadê all the time?
Thank you Paulenrique, I still think I'm missing something with regards when to use which (Once and Cade)
"Cadê" is used when you can replace it by "Onde está/estão"
- Where is the bank? (I can't find it) = Onde está o banco?/Cadê o banco?
- Where is the bank located? (general information) = Onde é o banco?Onde fica o banco? (Cadê can't be used in this case.)
