معنی
Asking about someone's residence.
زمینه فرهنگی
Asking where someone lives is a very common 'icebreaker' and is not considered a privacy violation in most social contexts. In Jakarta, people often answer with the name of their neighborhood (e.g., 'Tebet', 'Kemang') rather than the city name. When speaking to elders, Javanese people might use the high-register Indonesian or even Javanese 'Dalemipun pundi?' to be extra polite. Young professionals often use 'Base-nya di mana?' (Where is your base?) as a modern alternative to 'Tinggal di mana?'.
Drop the Subject
In casual speech, just say 'Tinggal di mana?' instead of 'Kamu tinggal di mana?'. It sounds more natural.
The 'NG' Sound
Make sure to pronounce the 'ng' in 'tinggal' clearly. If you say 'tin-gal', it might be harder to understand.

Be Ready for 'Kepo'
If you ask this, be prepared for them to ask you back! Indonesians love to exchange this info.
Use 'Di Mana Tinggalnya?'
Adding '-nya' makes the question sound slightly softer and more idiomatic in casual conversation.
