Bedeutung
A question to ask about someone's origin.
Kultureller Hintergrund
In France, asking about origin is a standard way to start a conversation, but avoid asking about religion or politics immediately. In Quebec, you might hear 'Tu viens d'où ?' more often, even in semi-formal settings.
The 'D'' rule
Always use 'D'' before 'où' because 'où' starts with a vowel.
