Pronombre relativo
A relative pronoun links a dependent / relative clause (i.e., a clause that cannot stand alone) to a main clause. The Spanish relative pronoun donde means "where":
Por ejemplo …
Hay una mesa. Comemos en esta mesa. | There’s a table. We eat at this table. | |
![]() |
This is the table where we eat. | |
Estudié a una escuela. | I studied at a school. | |
![]() |
That’s the school where I studied. That’s the school I studied at. |
It’s often preceded by a preposition.
Busco la puerta por donde podemos salir. | I’m looking for the door through which we can leave. | |
Es a donde vamos. | That’s where we’re going. | |
No sé el país de donde viene. | I don’t know the country (where) he’s from. I don’t know which country he’s from. |
Note: Accents matter! Donde is a relative pronoun while dónde is an interrogative adverb.
