que deviens tu?

Jessierugg · 12-16-2006, 06:23 AM

Does anyone know what this means?
"que deviens tu?" I do not think that my friend means "what are you becoming"... but maybe...
Is there another meaning for this phrase?
Thank You! ~ Jessica

Actually, "que deviens-tu ?" doesn't mean "what are you becoming", but "how's your life now ?", i.e. what's your job, what are your interests now, where do you live, do you have a family, how is it, etc.

I think the closest English translation is "how are things ?"

ou encore "what's up?" ou bien "what have you been up to (lately)?"
