Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries the word 'página' is used for both printed pages and web pages, so the phrase works equally well for a book, a PDF, or a website. Keep the tone informal with 'estamos' when speaking with friends, but switch to the formal '¿En qué página está usted ahora?' in a classroom or business setting.
