native
1.说“我（或你等）是什么地方人”该说I am（或You are 等）a native of...，不可说...the native of...，the native of...指“…地方的唯一的本地人”。
2.native place，native city，native town和native village都指某人诞生的地方，跟“原籍”不同，如假定你的原籍是天津，但诞生在上海，那末你的native place或native city是上海，不是天津，不可说My native place is Tianjin. but I was born in Shanghai。
3.native country通常是“本国”，很少是“本乡”。native land是“本国”，不是“本乡”。
4.my native place，your native place，my native city，your native city等表达方式英美人似乎很少用，如习惯上不说My native place is Shanghai而说I was born in Shanghai，不说What is your native place而说Where do you come from。native place等表达方式通常用在his，her或their的后面。
