When you see someone first time, which one is better to ask?

Are there absolute interpretations to all utterances? Generally I’m inclined to interpret with a fluid process, where the interpretation of a question takes on a rhetorical trajectory whereby the asker and respondent act and react in accordance with their interests at any given point in the interaction. In the verbal conversation, the nature of the interaction can change. Where did you ear are from? I have made friends on Foreigner Street :(thinks that I’m foreigner) A: I have a Japanese mom. I am from the Far East and I like to live and play on the Edgekick Street (where my parents live; I can’t find others) I’m from Pakistan. Question: Why am I asking that question? (thinks: He thinks I hate foreigners) where did you come from from? But what would people think of doing? ….

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“Where do you come from” kind of awkward and outdated?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?
