Different ways of asking "where" in chinese - zài nǎr or nǎlǐ
Memrise has two very similar phrases
Zhèige fànguǎnr zài nàr (the restaurant is over there)
and
Zhèige fànguǎnr zài nǎr (where is the restaurant)
Is this ok?
Can't I say
Zhèige fànguǎnr zài nǎli? or
Zhèige fànguǎnr nǎli?
When should I use zài?
xièxiè!
"na-r" is northern variant, "na-li" is a southern one
