where do you live

Asking your address

A standard question asking someone's place of residence—their city, neighborhood, or country rather than their specific address.

The question functions as small talk in casual conversation: So where do you live?

It can also appear in formal contexts like intake forms or interviews.

The scope depends on context: locals might mean which neighborhood, while international travelers mean which country.
