"Where in London does Teacher Wang live?"

Translation: 王老师住在伦敦哪儿？

[RedTony]

王老师在伦敦住哪儿？ Should also be accepted.

[Michelle494803]

Yes, its funny how the answer becomes 王老师住在伦敦哪儿. It just become totally weird

[nunes89]

Can I interpret this as a relative clause inside there, as if a "that/who" was omitted?

王老师（, that/who）在伦敦（,）住在哪儿？
Where in London does teacher Wang live? Vs. Where does teacher Wang, who is in London, live?. May sound a bit off, but just to make it more logical (for me) to understand Chinese grammar haha

I was corrected to this: "王老师在伦敦住在哪里？", but there is only one "在" available. odd! Anyway this would be more than correct for a native

[AbunPang]

The model answer is 王老师住在伦敦哪里 which needs only one 在. 王老师在伦敦住在哪里 is also possible and you could even make it work with one 在 by omitting the one after 住. However to me that sounds more like you're not talking about a permanent residence but only a temorary one for the stay in London, more along the lines of: "When Teacher Wang is in London, where does he stay?" 住在伦敦哪里 would be understood as "I know hw lives/stays in London, but in which area whithin London?"

Keep in mind, using Duolingo through a web browser gives the option to type answers rather than choose characters.

中文里面，这个翻译是，王老师在伦敦住哪儿？

[Gbour1]

How about 王老师住哪儿在伦敦？ This makes more sense for me. Could someone explain please, why it isn't correct?

[EricoleRay]

王老师住哪儿在伦敦？- sound informal as a native speaker, but if conversation among native speaker , still alright and understandable , well , learn the right way

[Tollkirsche]

So is this for a native plainly wrong word order?->王老伦敦师住在哪儿？

[StephanieB87596]

You're missing the shi (师) from laoshi (老师)

You wrote: Wang wise London master lives in/at where?

The Chinese grammar puts the 'lives in' directly after the proper noun/noun

So the sentence structure should be Wang teacher lives in London where? :
王老师住在伦敦哪儿？

[Ingi160123]

I was corrected to this: "王老师在伦敦住在哪里？", nevertheless there is only one "在" on the list available. good going

In my options there wasn't a second "zai" to put in the sentence.
