When you want to ask about direction, or where something is going, the word to use is hova. This is an adverb, meaning 'where to?' or 'whither?'.

You'll hear this often in everyday Hungarian conversation. Think of it as asking about a destination, rather than a current location. It's a fundamental word for understanding and expressing movement in Hungarian.
