To ask about locations in a large building like a shopping mall, use **neresi** ("what place"). Because it treats the location as a noun, it changes form depending on its role in the sentence.

### As a Subject

When asking the identity of a place, use the base form **neresi**. Place it at the end of the sentence to ask "Where is [something]?":

{{item:832264}}

{{item:832271}}

You can also use it to ask "which place" has a certain quality:

{{item:832274}}

### As a Direct Object

When a place is the direct object of an action—such as looking for or finding a location—it takes the accusative case and becomes **nereyi**.

{{item:832265}}

{{item:832267}}

### Locating Facilities

Pair **neresi** with vocabulary for stores or facilities to navigate complex buildings:
