Hello everyone! Today, we'll learn a very important phrase: Woher kommst du? This question is used to ask about someone's origin, specifically which country or city they are from.
Let's break down the words: Woher means "from where", kommst means "you come" (from the verb kommen), and du means "you". So, it collectively translates to "Where do you come from?".
To answer, we use the expression Ich komme aus... (I come from...). For instance, you could say Ich komme aus Aserbaidschan. (I come from Azerbaijan.) or Ich komme aus Deutschland. (I come from Germany.). This phrase is essential for initial introductions in German. Practice will make it easier to remember!
