?

In which direction is the town?

.

From , to aim or steer something. The idiom to learn whole is or , both current; a bare accusative of direction also works and is shorter, so beats spelling out a direction at all. Do not read as a form of : that is a manager, a person, and the two are separate words in practice even where a dictionary links their roots.
