"Onde é a cozinha?"

Translation: Where is the kitchen?

[JustinSchu2]

What's the difference between "onde fica" and "onde é"?

[Paulenrique]

For locations they are interchangeable. "Onde fica(m)" is more informal.

[4sily]

"Cadê a cozinha?" - would it mean exactly the same here?

[TylerMahan]

Shouldn't the Portuguese sentence be "Onde esta (with the accent) a cozinha"?

What are the differences between 'onde' and 'aonde'?

[vhendala]

'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'

How do you write "Where does she cook?" Onde ela cozinha?

[Paulenrique]

Yes!

[luckylinguist]

Would it be both OK and acceptable o say "Cadê a cozinha" ?

[Paulenrique]

Yes, it is also right depending on the context.

[luckylinguist]

Thank you Paulenrique, I still think I'm missing something with regards when to use which (Once and Cade)

[Paulenrique]

"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.)

Is the "nh" in cozinha pronounced like the ñ in Spanish? I can't tell by the woman's robot voice.

[Paulenrique]

Yes, they are pretty much similar.

[SiobhanWray]

How do you say, "Where is the cook?"

[Paulenrique]

Onde está o cozinheiro/cozinheira?

[SiobhanWray]

Obrigada! I was confusing "cozinha" with "cozinheiro/cozinheira".
