Today’s Spanish word of the day is “adónde”.
It’s an adverb meaning “where” or “where to”.
The word was formed by combining the preposition “a” (“to”) with the word “dónde” (“where”), so it literally means “to where”.
The difference between the words “adónde” and “dónde” is that “adónde” implies some kind of movement or direction, similar to English “to where” or “where to”.
