❈ Asking people where they’re from the correct way:
✖︎ Which
is your country? ✖︎ From where?
✔︎ Where are you from? (You can add ‘originally’ but it’s a bit offensive to some people.)
Now if you know the country that person is from but you want to know the state or city, please ask that from the beginning.
★ Which state/city are you from?
✖︎ Where are you?
✔︎ Where do you live now?
✔︎ Which state/city do you live in? (Be aware that some people do not like to reveal this info, it’s totally normal and you should be respectful about that.)
Hope it helps!
