Learn Turkish: Tuvalet nerede? - Where is the restroom?

In Turkish, the subject of the sentence usually comes first. Instead of saying "Where is the restroom?" like in English, you literally ask "Restroom where?".

Where is the word for "is" in this sentence?

There isn't one! In simple descriptive sentences like this, Turkish doesn't use a separate word for "is". Putting tuvalet and nerede together is perfectly complete.

Why does the word nerede end in -de?

Nerede means "where", but it specifically asks for a location. The -de at the end is the Turkish suffix for "in", "on", or "at". So nerede literally means "at where?" or "at what place?".

Does tuvalet mean just "toilet" or also "bathroom"?

It is used just like "restroom" or "toilet" when you are out in public. If you are in someone's home and looking for a room with a shower or bathtub, you would usually ask for the banyo (bathroom) instead.
