When you're truly taken aback, aside from "Qu’est-ce que tu fais là ?", you can also opt for the more colloquial "Mais kesstu fou là ?"

This comes from "Qu’est-ce que tu fous là ?", using the informal verb “foutre” instead of “faire”. 🗣️

Whether you're annoyed or just joking, "Qu’est-ce que tu fous ?" conveys a range of strong emotions, as it roughly translates to “What the hell/heck are you doing?”

Also, a quick tip: "Qu’est-ce que tu" often shortens to "Kesstu" in casual conversation

But remember, “foutre” has its edgy sides, like in "Va te faire foutre" which means “Go get f*cked*/* Go f*ck yourself.”😲 

Just remember the expression from today’s lesson and you’re safe 😉
