[rachxo]

今、さがしているところだよ！

And one more...


もう一時間も持っているのに、まだ来ない。
The first mo means already... but what does the second mo supposed to do for the sentence? And noni means because right?

Hi rachxo-san, tokoro in this case means "time". You can also translate it as "just"
さがしているところだよ！‐I'm searching just right now!

彼女はどこ？‐Where is she?
今でたところです。‐She just left!

The mo you are asking emphasize the time.
もう一時間も：I've been already waiting for an hour

もう二日間もたったのに彼女は電話くれない：It's been already two days since she doesn't call me.

Noni you can translate it as "but","ですが".

彼女は頭いいのになんであのことしたの？‐She's so smart, why she did that?
