What can one answer to the question "di dove sei?"
Hello!
I wonder what one can answer when asked "di dove sei?" I see the question usually responded in my textbook with answers like "Sono di Roma", "Sono di Milano". Does this question mainly mean " which region in this country are you from?" Can one answer" Sono di Americano.", " Sono di Cina?"

What can one answer to the question "di dove sei?"
Hello!
I wonder what one can  answer when asked "di dove sei?" I see the question usually responded in my textbook with answers like "Sono di Roma", "Sono di Milano". Does this question mainly mean " which region in this country are you from?" Can one answer" Sono di Americano.", " Sono di Cina?"

Answer

se chi te lo chiede ha già capito che sei cinese , ti sta chiedendo di essere più specifico quindi si può rispondere:
if the person who asks you already understand that you are Chinese, he is asking you to be more specific so we can respond:

"sono di Pechino"
"sono di Shanghai"...

altrimenti potresti dire :
otherwise you could say:

"sono cinese"  
"sono canadese"
"sono italiano"
"sono americano" (ma sarebbe esatto dire "Sono statunitense" )

"I'm Chinese"
"I'm Canadian"
"I'm Italian"
"I'm from USA"
