simple question on words like 哪里, 哪儿 , 这里 , 这儿 大家好 with Words like 哪里, 哪儿 , 这里 , 这儿, in mainland China i have heard its more common to use these words with 儿 at the end instead of 里。 However i personally prefer to say these words with 里 at the end, will I still be understood in all places in China? Or is using 里 very uncommon? 谢谢!

不是所有mainland china都喜欢说带儿的音, 只有北方才经常说“哪儿,这儿”,南方人经常说“哪里,这里” 北方人说很多词后边都喜欢加儿化音,比如:小曲儿xiǎoqǔr 毛驴儿máolǘr 有趣儿yǒuqǔr 南方人直接把“儿”省略掉 说“哪儿哪里”大家都能听懂,只是说话的习惯性问题

I dont now if there is any difference between speakers in the north and south. In fact, I am in beijing. In chinese,“儿”is more used in oral chinese, while "里" is used in written chinese.For example, when you translate the beginning of VOA like" this is VOA special english economic report", we say that in chinese: 这里是VOA慢速英语经济频道。 When you ask your friend it is beautiful here!you translate that as 这儿很漂亮。Of course you can also say 这里很漂亮。

其实这个没有多大的影响,“这里”会用得更多,你可以把所有的“这儿”换成“这里”,这样就可以了。因为只有北方人会说“这儿”,正式情况下都不会出现“这儿”这个词的,在书上也不会有“这儿”,但是会有“这里”。

Besides, in written chinese, 哪里 and 这里 are more common.
