意味
An informal way to ask for a location.
文化的背景
In Paris, people are often in a rush. Using 'C'est où ?' is appreciated for its brevity when asking for directions in the Metro. Quebecers might use 'C'est où ça ?' more frequently, adding the 'ça' for extra emphasis on the location. In Francophone Africa, 'C'est où ?' is standard, but often followed by 'là' for emphasis.
Add 'S'il vous plaît'
Even though 'C'est où ?' is informal, adding 's'il vous plaît' at the end makes it perfectly polite for strangers.
The Accent Matters
In writing, always use the accent on 'où'. It's a common mistake even for natives, but learners should be precise.
