about live & life

I live in Jogja
Kaka lives in spain



where do you live ?  I live in jogja
I don't live in jakarta


I read a book about the life of Diponegoro
Many people lost their lives in the war





Peter still  lives with his parents.
I still live with my parent




That athlete has got no more LIFE in him

To “stay” in a place is to live in it temporarily. To ask someone where his permanent home is, you say: “Where do you live?” But if you meet someone who is on holiday, or is here temporarily, you ask: “Where are you staying?”. The present continuous tense there suggests a temporary situation.
There is no need to use a preposition in such a question. But you need a preposition for questions like “Which hotel are you staying at?” or “Which town are you staying in while you are in Malaysia?” or “Who are you staying with?”
The preposition to use after “I live ...” or “I am staying ...” in answer to the question “Where do you live?” or “Where are you staying?” depends on whether you are going to mention a country, city, town or street, in which case you use “in”; or a smaller location like a block of flats, a hotel or a friend’s house, in which case you use “at”, e.g.
“I live in Malaysia/Penang/High Street.”; “I am staying at the E & O Hotel/a friend’s house.” “I live at Angsana Flats.”
