Question

Anybody know if I can i say 你想在哪儿吃？ or do i have to say 你想去哪儿吃？

Answer 1

Both mean "Where do you want to eat?"

Answer 2

Yes I know, but are both grammatically correct？

Answer 3

Yes, both are grammatically correct. But the second one is used more often. 在 means “ you want to be somewhere”. 去means “ to go somewhere”. Not much of difference.

Actually, Chinese has no specific grammar mistakes. Unless what you said messed up the whole meaning or used the wrong word or the wrong comma.

你想去哪吃 means you have to go out(and it may take a while) to eat.
