How do you ask where are from in french?

The most common way to ask "Where are you from?" in French is:

D'où êtes-vous ? (pronounced "doo eh-tay voo?")

Here's a breakdown of the components:

* D'où: This means "from where" or "where from".

* êtes-vous: This is the formal way to say "are you" in French.

Other options:

* De quelle région êtes-vous ? (From what region are you?)

* De quel pays êtes-vous ? (From what country are you?)

Informal way:

* Tu viens d'où ? (You come from where?) - This is a more informal way to ask, used with friends or people you know well.

Remember to use the correct form of the verb "être" (to be) based on the subject pronoun you are using:

* Je suis (I am)

* Tu es (You are)

* Il/Elle est (He/She is)

* Nous sommes (We are)

* Vous êtes (You are - formal or plural)

* Ils/Elles sont (They are)
