I am confused in one of my books in one chapter they said 哪 meant where and in the next they said 哪里 meant where. whats the differance? Is it important or can you use them interchangably?

哪: 1. pronoun 哪本书是你的? 哪是你家? 2.adv. be used for a rhetorical question to express negative. 哪+v 我不信,哪有这样的事? 哪里pronoun 哪里有这本书?

When used for places: 哪 = 哪里 = 哪儿 = where . They are the same and can be used interchangeably. (Except that 哪里 is a bit more formal ) for example: 你在哪(里/儿)? Where are you? Some different usage: 1. 哪里 sometimes can also be used for negation. for example: You have a lot of novels! No, i don't. 你有很多小说! 哪里 2. 哪 is often used in inquiry: 你最喜欢哪(一)本书? Which book do you like most? 天哪! Good heavens or my god In these cases 哪 and 哪里 are different and not interchangeable.
