Elena has provided the specific answer for you but let´s look at it from a different and wider angle.
Let x be any word such as good, fine, sick, young etc.
x-(y)im = I am x
x-sin = You are x
x = He/she/it is x
x-(y)iz = We are x
x-siniz = You are x
x-ler = They are x
Example x=iyi=fine
iyi-(y)im = I am fine
iyi-sin = You are fine
iyi = He/she/it is fine
iyi-(y)iz = We are fine
iyi-siniz = You are fine
iyi-ler = They are fine
Now when x is a question word you need to change the order in English but Turkish one doesn´t change:
x=kim
Kim-im = Who am I (lit. I am who)
Kim-sin = Who are you (lit. You are who)
Kim = Who is he/she/it (lit. He/she/it is who)
Kim-iz = Who are we (lit. We are who)
Kim-siniz = Who are you (lit. You are who)
Kim-ler = Who are they (lit. They are who)
For your question x=nereli=from where
Nereli-(y)im = From where am I (lit. I am from where)
Nereli-sin = From where are you (lit. You are from where)
Nereli = From where is he/she/it (lit. He/she/it is from where)
Nereli-(y)iz = From where are we (lit. We are from where)
Nereli-siniz = From where are you (lit. You are from where)
Nereli-ler = From where are they (lit. They are from where)
As an answer let x=İzmir´li=from İzmir
İzmir´li-(y)im = I am from İzmir
İzmir´li-sin = You are from İzmir
İzmir´li = He/she/it is from İzmir
İzmir´li-(y)iz = We are from İzmir
İzmir´li-siniz = You are from İzmir
İzmir´li-ler = They are from İzmir
