¿Donde estás? = Where are you?

¿De donde eres? = Where are you from?

Hi, Sammy. Welcome to the forum.

Like Maria-Claire says "remember your accents!"

1) ¿Dónde estás? (Where are you?)

The verb "estar" is used for location.

2) ¿De dónde eres?

The verb "ser" is used for identity and classifications.
