Talk:where is the toilet

I was pretty sure that Japanese used a question mark after the particle ka in questions. Our entry here uses the Japanese full stop. — Hippietrail 00:54, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I don't know since I don't speak Japanese, but most of the Google hits agree with you 69.165.92.123 02:47, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC) (w:User:Livajo)

Cool, I'll change it then, thanks. — Hippietrail 02:52, 1 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I added British. Americans would say, where's the bathroom? 64.192.106.146 18:15, 21 June 2006 (UTC)

No end to this nonsense, where is the bus station, where is the post office, where are my keys and numerous others are all commonly said, but do they belong in a dictionary? SpinningSpark 14:10, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Keep. No they don't belong in a dictionary. They do belong in a phrasebook, which we supposedly have. I would keep them but only as part of the phrasebook, whose existence is controversial in itself. If the phrasebook is ever scrapped, this will go with it but at the moment, the phrasebook is still there and this is quite a useful phrase. --WikiTiki89 (talk) 14:22, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Keep. They're all perfectly good phrasebook material.--Prosfilaes (talk) 14:25, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

delete the redirect where is the bathroom. It is absolutely not the same as where is the toilet. -- Liliana • 15:38, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Keep. Very useful phrasebook entry. Matthias Buchmeier (talk) 15:42, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Keep Arguably, a "Where is the ..." entry would be more useful than this, but it would be harder to make sure all translations are idiomatic in all senses. As Liliana says, where is the bathroom is a bad redirect - it should be replaced with a disambiguation page, between "where is the toilet" and "where is the room for washing".

Ok, I withdraw the nomination. I had not realised that such entries could be moved to the phrasebook by adding a template. SpinningSpark 16:53, 10 October 2012 (UTC)

Kept. — TAKASUGI Shinji (talk) 00:52, 26 October 2012 (UTC)

A 2005 edit added a Wu translation in Latin characters. (Wu on enwikt uses Han characters.) Can someone please check the translation and add it in the correct script if correct?​—msh210℠ (talk) 13:07, 21 July 2020 (UTC)
