What does eres del extranjero mean?

"Eres del extranjero" means "You are from a foreign country" in Spanish.

* Eres: You are (formal singular)

* del: from

* extranjero: foreign country, foreigner

It's important to note that this phrase can be used in a neutral way, simply stating someone's origin. However, it can also be used in a slightly negative or condescending way, depending on the context and the tone of voice.

Here are some examples of how this phrase could be used:

* Neutral: "Eres del extranjero, ¿verdad? (You are from a foreign country, right?)

* Negative: "Eres del extranjero, así que no entiendes nuestra cultura." (You are from a foreign country, so you don't understand our culture.)

To avoid any misunderstandings, it's generally best to use more specific and polite language when asking about someone's origin, such as:

* "¿De dónde eres?" (Where are you from?)

* "¿Eres de otro país?" (Are you from another country?)
