Questions & Answers about Le guerrier se demande où chercher dans le donjon.
Why do we use the infinitive chercher right after où?
This is an indirect question! When the person wondering is the same person who will perform the action, you can use a question word (like où, comment, or que) followed directly by an infinitive. Où chercher perfectly translates to "where to search".
Why is it se demande instead of just demande?
If chercher means "to look for," why isn't there a word for "for" in the French sentence?
Is donjon exactly the same as the English word "dungeon"?
In fantasy games or stories, yes, un donjon is a dungeon. But in real-life history, a donjon is a castle's "keep" (the main, most heavily fortified tower), which was usually above ground, rather than an underground prison!
