Ask "Where Are You From?" in Mandarin Chinese
Are you confused about how to ask “Where are you from?” in Mandarin Chinese?
In this detailed lesson, you will learn three different and natural ways to ask this common question — depending on whether you are asking about someone’s nationality, origin, or hometown.
In this video, I explain:
1️⃣ 你是哪国人? (Nǐ shì nǎ guó rén?)
Used when asking about someone’s nationality. This question is commonly used when speaking to foreigners or when you want to know which country someone is from.
Example reply: 我是中国人 。
2️⃣ 你来自哪里? (Nǐ láizì nǎlǐ?)
A slightly more formal and polite way to ask where someone comes from. This can refer to country or city, but it is generally safer to mention your country first.
Example reply: 我来自美国。
3️⃣ 你是哪儿人? (Nǐ shì nǎr rén?)
Commonly used between native Chinese speakers to ask about someone’s hometown or place of birth. This question is usually asked when both people are from the same country.
Example reply: 我是上海人.
At the end of the lesson, we review all three phrases so you can clearly understand the difference and use them confidently in real conversations.
This lesson is perfect for: ✔ Beginners learning Mandarin Chinese
✔ Students preparing for HSK
✔ Anyone who wants to speak natural Chinese
✔ Learners who want to understand cultural context
Practice these phrases and start using them in your daily conversations.
