Q

I live in Japan/Kamata (I’m living in Japan/Kamata)

A

私は日本に住んでいます
Watashi wa Nihon/Kamata ni sunde imasu

The root verb/dictionary verb of to live is sumu.

When you talk about where you live, you must use a progressive tense verb. To make a verb progressive, we need to switch the -te form and add imasu. So “to live” becomes “living”. sumu becomes sunde imasu
