Significado
Asking for the location of something.
Contexto cultural
Armenians often use landmarks rather than street names. If you ask 'Where is...', be prepared for directions like 'Next to the pink building' or 'Near the Sasuntsi Davit statue'. In the capital, 'Republic Square' (Hraparak) is the central point of reference. Many people will describe locations based on their distance or direction from the Square. Western Armenian speakers (from Lebanon, Syria, etc.) will almost exclusively use 'Ո՞ւր է' instead of 'Որտե՞ղ է'. Both are understood, but 'Որտեղ' is the hallmark of the Republic of Armenia. Asking for a location often triggers a 'host' response. A stranger might stop what they are doing to ensure you find your way, reflecting the high value of 'hyurasirutyun' (hospitality).
The 'A' Shortcut
If you want to sound like a local in Yerevan, you can say 'Որտե՞ղ ա' (Vortegh a) instead of 'Որտե՞ղ է'.
Plural Alert
Always check if your subject is plural. If it is, 'է' must become 'են'.

'Որտեղ' is for static location (Where is it?), while 'Ուր' is often for direction (Where are you going?), though they overlap.
Use 'Որտե՞ղ են' (Vortegh en).
Yes, for the word 'Որտեղ', the stress and the question mark always fall on that vowel.
