Asked on March 26, 2021 in Meaning.
How is “Where are you from?” more common in US English. In my opinion, this is the preferred option when meeting someone new.
The difference is a bit more emphasis on the verb “to be/are” now rather than the action of “coming/being from/from” somewhere as is common in certain other languages. The meaning of these words is the same from what I interpreted it in a sentence.
What city/state/country do you think people call your home? Which country you’re from doesn’t necessarily matter where he/she is from. Is where he or she’s from? If so, which country or state/city you’re from should you start? Is it really embarrassing that a society presumes that people of certain ethnic minorities must necessarily come from some other ethnic minority location? How would you look at your ethnic background from “what is your family/ethnic background?”? Where
were you from? I’m
from Norway, but live in Chicago based on European heritage. I’m very excited to meet Chicago’s beautiful people and I love to speak Norwegian. Is
“Where do you come from” kind of awkward and outdated? It includes the present-tense verb “do” in the context of a past-tense action (coming from somewhere). This is perfectly understandable and you can say this if you prefer – I have to say ‘those things’, but I would still suggest another way though.
What are the reasons for “Where do you come from”? Is
it so natural that there is no land beyond the sea? Where
did you come from actually? ” Can also be used to express surprise of the person’s sudden arrival or unexpected actions.
Where did you come from? ”
“I was next door, but now i’m here to rescue you! How
do I use it when I’m on holiday in the USA?

In sports, it’s the “final” because a tournament has multiple rounds of competition
that need to be identified: qualifying, quarter-final, semi-final, final. It’s sort of a numerical distinction for equally spaced iterations within the larger event. Both “final” and “finale” are “the end,” but “final” is the last in a series of things.
An event can’t have to be a series of sub-events in order to have a finale but it could: acts in a play, movements in a concerto, scenes in a movie, etc. It could also just “the end” of a short story or a one-act play, not really a series.
What is timing? Almost all artistic performance reaches an arc before the climax and culminates with an “orchestration finale.” Who will decide when the peak and lull of a weather will be? Does the “grand finale” factor into any film of this standard? What happens to a football match if everyone is aiming for the top 2 or so at a Sports Prom, and you can never tell how. What’s the best game of a tournament might be in round 1. The Final (end game) is a boring disappointment.
“Final” then is sort of shorthand referring to the “final round” or “final stage” of a larger sequence. If an event ended a certain point, and you have a to, a semi, then one can never end.
