Where are you from question and the answers in Arabic


Before explaining to you the sentence in Arabic, I will write the sentence for pronoun in 2nd person, singular, and masculine first, then we will practice with another pronoun.

— مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ يَا أَخِي؟  (min ayna anta yaa akhii?)

The meaning: Where are you from O my brother?

or for short ⇒ مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتَ؟ (min ayna anta?) = Where are you from?

If you want to ask the same question to another person, just replace أَنْتَ (anta) with another pronoun or the person's name.


Below the examples:


— مِنْ أَيْنَ أَنْتِ يَا أُخْتِي؟ (min ayna anti yaa ukhti?)
The meaning: Where are you from O my sister?
