    안녕하세요!
    Could we use “화장실이 어디에 있어요?” as well when asking where is the bathroom?
    감사합니다!

      Hi Sean, Thanks for your question.
      Yes, You can say “화장실이 어디에 있어요?” as well. Literally, “화장실이 어디에 있어요?” means “where is the bathroom located?” or “where does the bathroom exist?”.
      I wrote “화장실이 어디예요?” because it’s short and thought easier to remember. But, “화장실이 어디에 있어요?” is used as commonly as 화장실이 어디예요?
      Hope this answered your question!
