‘Adónde’ is a Spanish word that translates to ‘where to’ in English. It combines the word ‘a’ (to) with ‘dónde’ (where), which indicates a direction or destination. You would typically use ‘adónde’ when asking about the specific place someone is going or the direction they are headed.
For example, if someone asks, ‘¿Adónde vas?’ it means ‘Where are you going?’ This word is commonly used in conversational Spanish when seeking information about a destination, making it an essential part of everyday communication.
Keep in mind that while ‘dónde’ can be used to ask where something is, ‘adónde’ is specifically for questions involving movement or travel. So each word applies to slightly different contexts in Spanish grammar.
