Accents in questions
1

I know that question words like "donde" and "que" have accents when they are leading a question. "El hombre que tiene zapatos amarillos" is different from "¿Qué hora es?". "La casa donde vive mi primo" is different from "¿Dónde está ...?"
If you're asking something like "¿Me podría decir donde está el baño?", does "donde" have an accent? It's in a question, but the sentence is no longer "Where is the bathroom?", it's "Can you tell me where the bathroom is?"
This is not urgent, this is just me being particular. Thanks!

It does,
¿Dónde está el baño?
¿Me podría decir dónde está el baño?
It's the same since you are still asking where the bathroom is. It's not about the order, but about the type of phrase, question or just a simplre phrase.
