Tank you, Loonie! It was a very pleasent surprise to see your answer!
I just read your message with the expressions in German that I wanted to know.
Now I have a new question: in the sentence
"Wo kommst du her?" what does "her" mean?
and how would you answer that question? (In Spanish the answer 'would be "Yo vengo de ... [Mexico,for example]" or "Yo soy de ...)
How would you ask about the professional activity of someone?
or what they do for a living. In Spanish that would be "?A que te dedicas?" or "?Que haces?, And the answer would be "Soy ingeniero", or "Soy arquitecto", or "Me dedico a vender libros", etc.
(That in English is "I'm an Engineer", or "I'm an Architect", or "I sell books")

Re:Tank you, Loonie! It was a very pleasent surprise to see your answer!
"Wo kommst du her?" what does "her" mean?
You must note that herkommen (to come from) is a so called "schwaches" Verb. It will be seperated as shown in the sentence.
herkommen (Inf.)
But you cannot say "Wo herkommst Du". Falsch. Richtig: "Wo kommst Du her"
An example for a strong verb would be, e.g., betreten (to enter).
betreten (inf.)
"Ich betrete das Lokal." (I'm entering the reastaurant)
Wrong, or even meaningless is: Ich tretet das Lokal be. In the latter example it is also not further helpful what "be" means.
Best regards
