<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">I prefer to recast it, so I don't have to rely too much of motion. After all, I'm from Stockholm even when I'm moving *towards* Stockholm, or - as I am now - quite stationary within
it.<br>
<br>
If I'm wondering where somebody is originally from, then something like {nuqDaq bIboghpu'?}, or possibly {munglIj nuq?}.<br>
<br>
If I'm wondering where somebody's home is (as this may be different from their place of birth), then the {Daq DaDabbogh yIngu'!} example works. Or, maybe use some construct like {juH [veng/yoS/Sep/yuQ/qIb]lIj nuq?}.<br>
<br>
<br>
With tongue burrowed deep into cheek, I might suggest {chay' bInov?}.<br>

<p dir="ltr">I'm putting together a list of "Beginner's Conversation" sentences that people can use at qepHom/'a'.
</p>
<p dir="ltr">Aside from the usual "what's your name?" and so on, I was trying to render "where are you from?"</p>
<p dir="ltr">What do people think of {nuqvo' bIghoS?} or {nuqvo' bIpaw}? I don't think anything's wrong with {nuqvo'}, but might that be confusing to beginners? What's a way of saying "where are you from?" which a beginner can easily parse?</p>
<p dir="ltr">Note that this is a separate question from {Daq DaDabbogh yIngu'} "where do you live?" which comes from canon.</p>
