English usage: I am from France itself. I am going to the market for this only.

[Anupumh]

I would like to know, where the usage of itself and only at the end of sentence is correct or incorrect. And what are the reasons for it?

I am from France itself.
I am going to the market for this only.

[Mister Micawber]

I am from France itself.-- An odd sentence, but it might be your response to a Canadian who asks you, 'Are you from St Pierre and Miquelon?'

I am going to the market for this only.-- OK. 'I am going there for no other item/purpose.'

I am from india itself.

This is incorrect, beacuse "itself" is a reflexive pronoun and has to point back/reflect back to subject, over here I is the subject and itself does not reflect back to it.

Correct me if i am wrong...

[Mister Micawber]

You are wrong if the sentence is used in a way similar to the one I presented immediately above. In that case, 'itself' = 'proper', and distinguishes the country proper from e.g. one of its possessions: 'Are you from Goa?' 'No, I am from India itself.'

-Self pronouns have other uses besides reflecting the verb back onto the subject. In this case, it fulfils this definition: Itself: an emphatic appositive of it, which, that, this, or a noun: which itself is also true; Even without flowers, the bowl itself is beautiful.

Anupam,

Those expressions are very Indian.

A: Are you from China?
B: I am from India itself.

I think a native speaker wouldn't use itself to stress the fact that he is not from somewhere. Same is the case with only; it's a bit over-used in India.
