ahh, thank you. So for instance, "where is the bathroom" might be "ma tu'i lo vimku'a" while "where is the book" would probably be "ma se di'o lo cukta". Am I right?

 Remember that modals such as tu'i and di'o modify the relationship in a bridi, they aren't a relationship themselves. So you must use the actual gismu that these modals come from: "ma stuzi lo vimku'a" and "ma se diklo lo cukta". Now, on the other hand, you could say something like "tu'i ma mi ka'e facki fi lo vimku'a" ("In what site can I find the bathroom?", but that question could be answered legitimately by any place from where you could see the bathroom, whether or not the bathroom was actually there) and "sedi'o ma mi pu tcidu lo cukta" (where was I reading the book?" (lit. "location where? I was reading the book")
