it's by the way and which country do you live in


Dear Yo,

Thanks for your interest in correcting my mistakes. But still I feel , my statement is also not a wrong one. If we want to change our subject to other matters we usually say "By the by" so is "By the way". "Which country do you live in? " is an apt one if we are interested in knowing the country of the person currently living. That too, I fell this should be said in present continuous tense, "Which country are you living in? " . I just want to know the orgin of the person hence I strongly feel "Which country do you belong to?" will do.

Again many thanks for your advice.

Hello, it's me from Germany... #47 (permalink) Sun Dec 05, 2004 16:24 pm   Hello, it's me from Germany...
 

i live in canada, and i have never heard anyone say by the by, i'd guess because it doesn't make any sense with the flow of words. Which country do you belong to yes it is correct but when you read it outloud it doesnt sound right. I mean you can use it no problem, but saying which country do you live in just sounds better. Also if you want to know the persons origin just say what is your background or where were you born. :P

Dear Yo,

Thanks again. Your points are noted. By the way, I meant "By the Bye" not "By the by". There was a typo error in my post.

Thanks,

"By the Bye" means as same as "By the way". If we want to switch our subject from one to other it will be used.

Thanks,

Привет, Елена!

It's great that you are a journalist. I'm a journalist too and I also speak Russian.
How many languages do you speak? Is it difficult to work in another country?

Hello,

I'm also from Ukraine and moved to Canada a few months ago. This site is very good because you can take these tests and then ask questions. I already had one answer within what - one hour I suppose. Anyway, good doing guys I'll be back soon.
