This phrase could be like this?? Ты живёшь далеко Or the adverb just can come between the pronoun and the verb
Both are correct but you better put the adverb before the verb so it won't sound weird.
why is the sentence in this order though? Is it because it is a question? I think I just saw [Я живу далеко.]...
No matter where the adverb is, sounds good in any versions. Even Далеко (ли) ты живешь? not rarely asked.
Correct: Ты далеко живёшь? Далеко ты живёшь? Ты живёшь далеко? Далеко живёшь ты? Живёшь далеко ты? Живёшь ты далеко? Но первые два, легче в произношении и восприятии на слух./But the first two, it is easier in pronunciation and listening comprehension.
Okay, but i thought the last word in a sentence was kind of the important one. The emphasised one. Isn't далеко supposed to be the important part of the question ?

No, in this case далеко and живешь - equivalent important. Ты близко работаешь? Low important is "ты", may be skip as "Далеко живёшь?"
Who in any English speaking region ever says, "do you live FAR OFF?"? Yet, "Do you live far away?" is not accepted. Bull butter.
I keep hitting the submit button accidentally thinking its the spacebar. Iya dumb
Both Russian and English have different ways to phrase things.. obviously. Russian speakers live in a pretty broad geographical area, as do various types of English speakers. This question sounds as if it phrased in British English...so what?
