你在哪里？
These two sentences have the same meaning. But 哪儿 is used in North China, 哪里 is used in South China.

The second 的 is related to 挺. We often put 的 at the end if there is 挺 in the sentence.
You can remember "挺......的" as a fixed expression.
eg,
这个挺好吃的。Zhège tǐng hǎochī de.
今天挺热的。 Jīntiān tǐng rè de.

May 7, 2010 at 2:31 AMYou can hear this sentence a lot in China. We don't view it as abusive - the tone isn't serious. If the child 不乖, the parents will say that to their child. It doesn't mean the parents won't like their child any more, but is instead a way to get their child to stop his or her bad behavior. I'm told that this isn't uncommon in Spanish, too.

"你小子"指的就是"你"，"我嫂子"指的就是"她"。
1. "小子"是一个比较随意的称呼。
可以用在爸爸称呼儿子，比如爸爸对儿子说："你小子，真调皮！"
也可以用在男性好朋友之间，比如对一个好朋友说："你小子，最近在哪儿混啊？"
2. "嫂子"是指哥哥的老婆。在对话里，A的年纪比B大，A是B的哥哥，所以虽然A没有结婚，B还是称呼A的女朋友为"我嫂子"。
