To say which city you live in in French, you can use the verb habiter (to live [somewhere]) as such:
J'habite à + [city]
Note that je (= I) becomes j' in front of the mute h of habite.

Using the hyphen
My question has to do with the use of the hyphen. Am I correct in assuming that when the pronoun comes after the verb a hyphen must be added?
Asked 6 months ago
JoshuaKwiziq community member
if the verb starts with a vowel or a silent "h", and the pronoun is "Je", a hyphen should be added.
For other pronouns, no, I don't think so.

How do I say I live in the western cape of South Africa?
Asked 11 months ago
Hi Lianda,
You would say "J'habite au Cap-Occidental en Afrique du Sud."
MarieKwiziq team member
Hi Swastik,
We say "au" as the name of this place is "Le Cap-Occidental". "Au" is the contraction of "à" + "le".
You can get more information here: À + le = au, à + les = aux, de + le = du, de + les = des (contractions of articles)
Hope this helps!

According to my native French language consultants (i.e., French friends) you can hear a number of different ways to express "I live in Paris", each with a slightly different meaning:
J'habite Paris. -- I am a citizen of Paris.
J'habite à Paris. -- I live in Paris. (A general statement)
J'habite dans Paris. -- I live right in Paris (probably somewhere near the center)
J'habite sur Paris. -- I live by Paris (in the greater urban area but not right in Paris)

Does habiter need a prepositionÉ
In my book 501 French verbs it teaches that the verb habiter doesn't require a preposition so, J'habite cette maison, is acceptable.
Is "J'habite à [city] an exception? Is "J'habite [city]" acceptable?

Why is there a difference : tu habites and habitez- vous. Es in ending of habitate in tu and ez in vous?
Asked 1 year ago
It is because in English (and most indo-european languages) the verb changes according to the subjects person. Tu is second person singular and vous is second person plural. Verb endings differ. You ask why this is so? Simply because.

"Je vis dans Perth" would mean something different as it insists on the fact that you live inside the city, in the center of it, as opposed to in its suburbs, or just outside of it. And even then, you'd rather use "J'habite dans Perth.".

Hi ... does this same (use of 'à) rule apply to towns and villages as well as cities?
Asked 2 years ago
Hi Stewart,
Yes indeed as Ron says, the rules will be the same for towns and villages.
You will use 'à ' or in the case of masculine names ´au' and
'aux' for plural names.
Just a few examples of these:
j'habite à Gordes, j'habite au Chesnay ( Le Chesnay ), j'habite au Pecq (Le Pecq) , j'habite aux Baux de Provence (les Baux de Provence)...
Hope this helps!
Ron Kwiziq Q&A super contributor
Bonjour Stewart,
In a word, yes; the same rule applies for cities, towns and villages. This is a basic structure to discuss where one lives. As you progress, there will be other locales, i.e. regions, departments, etc. where the preposition changes. This lesson here is at the A0 level, hence the basic : J'habite à. . . structure. When one gets into the A1 level, you will find a different structure for stating certain areas where one lives.
J'espère que ma réponse vous aiderait.

J'habite à Toronto dans Canada.
Is dans correct and does it matter if city or country goes first?
Asked 3 years ago
DavidKwiziq community member
This is a really sticky one. Part of the problem is learning the gender of all the world's countries. But there are some tricks.
With some exceptions (le Belize, le Cambodge, le Mexique, le Mozambique, le Zaïre, le Zimbabwe) all countries that end in "e" are feminine. The rest are masculine.
If a country is masculine and starts with a consonant, use:
au (to or in) du (from
If a country is masculine and starts with a vowel, use:
en (to or in) d' (from)
If a country is feminine, use:
en (to or in) de / d' (from)
If a country is plural, use:
aux (to or in) des (from)
You can forget "dans" with a country. And the city and country can come in either order, as long as the prepositions are correct. Good luck!
MicheleKwiziq community member
So the correct form would be J'habite à Toronto au Canada? And J'habite au Canada à Toronto would also be correct?
DavidKwiziq community member
Yes. But with a city like Toronto or New York (where I live) there's really no need to say the country. So you're off the hook!
Bonus tip: if you're a native of a city or country, you can use the adjective form of that country or city plus "de souche."
"Je suis New Yorkais de souche."
"Je suis français de souche."
