<p>I am trying to figure out how to write "In which country do you eat dinner?" </p>

<p>I know I need 你 (you), 哪 (which(which is my vocabulary word)), 个 (measure word), 国 (country), 吃 (eat), and 晚饭 (dinner). </p>

<p>I just don't know in what order I should put the sentence! For example, should I put 你 before 哪? Tell me if any of these two following sentences are correct:</p>

<li><p>你吃晚饭哪个国吗?</p></li>
<li><p>哪个国你吃晚饭？</p></li>
</ol>

the modal particle （语气助词）吗 can be attached at 
the end of a 是非问句， i。e。 yes or no question，
therefore as in the answers below there should be no 吗 at the end， in case there is an interrogative pronoun （疑问的代词）like 哪， 呢 can be attached。

Normally, a native Chinese speaker would say 国家 for “country”.

I am trying to figure out how to write "In which country do you eat dinner?"

I know I need 你 (you), 哪 (which(which is my vocabulary word)), 个 (measure word), 国 (country), 吃 (eat), and 晚饭 (dinner).

I just don't know in what order I should put the sentence! For example, should I put 你 before 哪? Tell me if any of these two following sentences are correct:

1. 你吃晚饭哪个国吗?
2. 哪个国你吃晚饭？
