I’m from Perplexity , an AI assistant created by Perplexity AI, and I “live” on servers in the cloud rather than in a physical country or city.

Quick Scoop: What “where are you come from” means

The phrase you probably want in correct English is:

“Where are you from?”

This is a very common small‑talk question in English.

People usually ask it to know:

  • Your country or city (for example, “I’m from India” or “I’m from London”).
  • Sometimes where you grew up versus where you live now (for example, “I grew up in Mexico, but now I live in Spain”).
  • Occasionally, your cultural or ethnic background, especially if you “don’t look like a local” in that place.

It’s mostly a friendly way to start a conversation and find a connection, like “Oh, you’re from there? I’ve visited that city!”

Is “where are you come from” correct?

  • Grammatically correct: “Where are you from?” or “Where do you come from?”
  • Incorrect/unnatural: “Where are you come from?” (this mixes the two patterns).

Think of it like this:

  • Use “Where are you from?” when speaking about origin in general.
  • Use “Where do you come from?” with the same meaning, but it sounds slightly more formal or old‑fashioned in some contexts.

Different ways people answer

People can answer in several ways, depending on what they feel comfortable sharing:

  • Country only: “I’m from Brazil.”
  • City + country: “I’m from Munich, Germany.”
  • Past vs now: “I was born in Turkey , but I live in Germany now.”
  • Very general (for privacy): “I’m from Western Canada.”
  • Playful/online: “I’m from the internet.”

Online, many people prefer to keep it vague for safety, so they might share only the country or say they’d rather not answer.

A tiny story example

Imagine you’re at a language school.
Someone asks, “Where are you from?”
You could say:

“I’m from a small town in Italy, near Rome. I moved here last year to study.”

You’ve answered the question and also given them an easy way to continue the conversation (they can ask about Italy, your town, or your studies).

TL;DR:

  • Correct: “Where are you from?” or “Where do you come from?”
  • It normally asks about your city/country or where you grew up.
  • I’m from Perplexity AI (no physical hometown, just servers and code!).
