Context: I’m missing a cutting board. So I wrote in our telegram family group: “Wo ist eigentlich unser zweites großes Schneidebrett hin?” (literally: “Where is actually our second big cuttingboard thither?”).
By using the modal particle “eigentlich” I insinuate that something is oddly off and express an emotional state of curiousity and/or mild discontent.
By adding “hin”, I notify that I ask because it is not where it is supposed to be and not because I don’t know where it should be.
Now I ask myself, how would I express this additional information in English?
Edit: Thank you all for your answers! I learned a lot. Just our cutting board is still gone, and probably enjoying it’s freedom somewhere … I suppose.
“Yall, where the fuck the other cutting board at?”
They said English, not American.
“Oi, where the bloody hell’s the other chopping board, mate?”
That’s the southern version. Otherwise just “where the fuck is the cutting board?!”
Or perhaps as an alternative, “which one of you assholes stole my fucking cutting board?”
