In Chinese there's this weird (to my English L1 perspective) construction
for giving locations.
Q: wo3de ke4ben3 zai4 na3li? Where is my text book? (my textbook at where?)
A: zai4 wo3 zhe4li. Here. (At my here.)
or A: zai4 ni3 na4li. There. (At your there.)
To me, that's just begging to go into one of my langs. . . but which one?
