*Note- Words that begin in Q always have the SECOND syllable accented

Wato bu xina deyi rumo?
What is in your room?

 'What's' becomes 'What is'. 'Xina' is the preposition 'in' as in "My clothes are in the closet." 'Zerabu' is the equivalent of the Spanish hay.

Wato bu xina dePaco rumo?
What's in Paco's room?

When a name has apostrophe-s after it, you use the same subject with the prefix "de-"
