I'm not a native speaker, but I have taken 3 years of spanish. I do believe that "Where is it?" is said "¿Dondé está?" and "Where are you?" is "¿Dondé estás"

Donde esta by itself doesn't make sense unless you are speaking about a person. - morphine, OCT 1, 2009

where is it - ¿dónde lo esta? where are you - ¿dónde estas?

¿Dónde estás? Where are you? Informal

¿Dónde está? Where is it/he/she or you formal


¿Dónde está tu hermana? Where is you sister?

¿Dónde está la película? Where is the movie?

¿Dónde está (usted)? Where are you?
