English Native speakers, please?

Question

What's the correct form to say this?:

'What British city are you?' or 'Which British city are you?'

Answer 1

Both correct but It would have to be followed by "In" or "From"

the question above suggests the person IS the city

Answer 2

no...

Which British city do you LIVE in....or What city do you live in, in Britain ???

Answer 3

In colloquial (UK) English and assuming you are speaking to a UK resident the normal way to ask your question would be "Where are you from ? " or "Where do you live ? ".

Answer 4

Which British city are you from is correct. :)

Answer 5

which british city

Answer 6

"What British city are you from?".

Answer 7

Both are incomplete.  You should ask, "Which British city are you from".

Either will do, however, it sounds better if you ask, "which British city are you from" or, "which British city do you live in".  A more straight forward question might be, "where were you born?" Or, "which city were you born in?"

Answer 8

"Which British city are you from"

Answer 9

Las dos formas son correctas, aunque la más correcta sería "Which British city are you from". En el habla familiar se dice comúnmente "what city". Si quieres que tu inglés sea más educado o refinado, usa la primera forma. Si quieres que te tomen por hablante nativa, usa la segunda forma.

Answer 10

You can say either of these

"Which British city are you from?"

              OR

"Which city in Britain are you from?"

Answer 11

Er, both are technically wrong, it should be Which british city are u from, because "which british city are you?" doesnt make any sense.. unless u were the city yourself, which wouldn't make any sense. <_<;

Answer 12

Neither :)  Your question seems to be asking a person to name which/what city that person is -- people are not cities.

Possible Variations:

In which British city are you located?

You are located in which British city?

Is this what you are attempting to ask????

Answer 13

which, not what

Answer 14

What british city are you from ?

Where do you come from

Where do you live

What is your hometown ?

Answer 15

Either works, really. Which is technically correct, but anyone will understand if you use what. More importantly, you need the rest of the questions! "Which British city are you from?" Or, "Where are you from in Britain?"

Answer 16

I think the phrase that you are looking for is "Which British city is this?"

Answer 17

the statement with "which"

Answer 18

Both are asking if that person is a city, which is incorrect.

"What British city are you from?"

"Which British city are you from?"

I've heard both. I lean towards "which," because this infers you're picking from a bunch of British cities.

Answer 19

What British city are you FROM?

Both are fine; "which" rather goes with a list or a limited selection of choices of some kind.

Answer 20

which british city are you from
