"هَل مَدينَتِك باريس يا سامْية؟"

Translation: Is your city Paris, Samia?

[taylorisalive]

Could this also be: "Is Paris your city?"

[RajasDaithankar]

@Tay - not unless you change the Arabic sentence too.

[Wiebke740885]

Duo accepts that as well.

Is this a common way to ask "Are you from Paris, Samia?" in Arabic, or is it a sentence you wouldn't often use that we're using to practice our possessives?

[Tahsin777]

I don't get it, how does one own a city? It seems that the sentence is talking about Paris as if its an object (e.g is that your hat Samia?) rather than a city. I may be incorrect, but I'm not so sure if they would say this in Arabic? Just asking to clarify.

[phuvtuo]

How do you own a human being either in modern times? But I assume you have no problem with somebody saying your daughter or your wife or your teacher. Or do you have an issue with that as well?

[Shanna9160]

Is this the Arabic way to ask "Is Paris your hometown?" or "Are your from Paris?"

[AshayDwivedi]

Yeah
