What is the difference between asking "De donde eres" or asking "Donde vives?"

De donde eres = where are you from

Donde vives = where do you live

Thanks alot

Okay-I think I understand the difference -much appreciated

All Interrogative words require accent m arks: ¿De dónde eres? = Where are you from? or ¿Dónde vives? = Where do you life.

P.S. If you do not know how to make accent marks with a computer, I need to know 2 things: 1. do you have a PC or a MAC and 2. do you have Windows or not.

The phrases "¿De dónde eres?" and "¿Dónde vives?" are both Spanish questions, but they have different meanings and purposes.

1. "¿De dónde eres?": This translates to "Where are you from?" in English. It is asking about your place of origin or nationality. To answer this question, you would provide the country or city you were born in or where you grew up.

To get this information, you need to ask the person directly. You could say, "¿De dónde eres?", and the person will respond with their place of origin.

2. "¿Dónde vives?": This translates to "Where do you live?" in English. It is asking about your current place of residence. To answer this question, you would provide the city or address where you currently live.

To get this information, you also need to ask the person directly. You could say, "¿Dónde vives?", and the person will tell you their current place of residence.

In summary, while "¿De dónde eres?" asks about someone's place of origin, "¿Dónde vives?" asks about their current place of residence.
