    bonjour
    pour dire une phrase comme :

    puis je dire

    Hello,
    I think the usual way is "to live"
    where are you living?
    where are you dwelling?

    you can also use:
    to inhabit= habiter
    to reside= résider
    to live= vivre ; habiter
    to stay = demeurer .

    thank but it is strong to say "where do you live or where do you dwell

    Bonjour,

    "Où habites-tu?"

    It depends a little bit on the context but normally one would say:
    "Where do you live?" or "Where do you stay?"

    In some cases the present continuous might be used (usually when wanting emphasis about where the person is living/staying NOW:
    "Where are you living (now)?"
    "Where are you staying (at the moment)?"

    The verb 'dwell' is not commonly used in modern spoken English in this context.
    'Inhabit' and 'reside' are also not common (reside might be used in formal speech).

    Stick with 'live' and 'stay'.
