Saying Where You're From
To say where you are from in Korean, use the pattern:
[Country/City] + 에서 왔어요
- 미국에서 왔어요 — I came from the USA
- 프랑스에서 왔어요 — I came from France
The particle 에서 marks the place of origin. 왔어요 is the past tense of 오다 (to come).
To ask where someone is from:
- 어디에서 왔어요? — Where did you come from?
- 어느 나라 사람이에요? — What country are you from? (lit. "Which country person are you?")
Nationalities in Korean are formed by adding 사람 (person) after the country name:
- 한국 사람 — Korean person
- 미국 사람 — American person
- 프랑스 사람 — French person
So to say "I am Korean," say: 저는 한국 사람이에요.

Veelgemaakte fouten
프랑스에 왔어요프랑스에서 왔어요에 means location/destination — 에서 is needed to mean 'from'
저는 미국이에요저는 미국 사람이에요You cannot say a country is your identity — add 사람 (person) after the country
어디 왔어요?어디에서 왔어요?The particle 에서 is required after 어디 to mean 'from where'
저는 미국에서 갔어요저는 미국에서 왔어요갔어요 means 'went' — use 왔어요 (came) to express origin
저는 영국인이에요저는 영국 사람이에요While 영국인 exists, 영국 사람이에요 is more natural in conversation
