To say “Where do you live?” in Spanish, you would say “¿Dónde vives?”.
The phrase breaks down as follows:
 
Dónde” means “where”.
 
Vives” is the second person singular present tense form of the verb “vivir”, which means “to live”.
 
So literally translated, “¿Dónde vives?” means “Where do you live?”.
 
Some additional context on using this phrase in Spanish:
 
The verb “vivir” is conjugated differently depending on who you are asking. For “you” formal (Usted), it would be “¿Dónde vive?“.
 
In Spanish, the verb typically comes after the subject, unlike in English where it comes before.
 
This phrase uses a question mark at the beginning to indicate it is a question.
 
It is a common way to politely ask someone where they reside or live.
 
So in summary, to directly translate “Where do you live?” to Spanish, the proper phrase is “¿Dónde vives?“.
