" But you say you are sure you did not hear any of these. ' might be possible in a movie if it is an historical drama. It is a substitute for 'Where have you come from' which was used centuries ago.
- " But you say you are sure you did not hear any of these.
- ' might be possible in a movie if it is an historical drama.
- It is a substitute for 'Where have you come from' which was used centuries ago.
- It is not part of modern English.
- If the context was not that of an historical drama, I can't imagine what it could mean.

The only expressions close to this are: 'Where do you come from?" and "Where have you come from?" and "Where are you coming from?" But you say you are sure you did not hear any of these.
' Where are you come from?' might be possible in a movie if it is an historical drama. It is a substitute for 'Where have you come from' which was used centuries ago. It is not part of modern Englis

I'm not familiar with 'Where are you come from?' even as a historical phrase. 'Where are you from?' is a valid question though, perhaps you misheard this? Or it coud be 'where have you come from?' as a lot of native British speakers will drop the h from have and it could be easy to mistake 'Where've' for Where are'.

I noticed that some americans used like that, grammatically incorrect. but still using, no problem, no problem. One time I heard that " He do everything"

You may have heard them say "where are you coming from" which is a slang phrase, or "I don't know where you are coming from" meaning, "I don't understand what you are trying to say" or "I don't understand the basis for your opinion".
