What is 'What are you doing' when translated from English to Italian?

Answer 1

Cosa stai facendo? in the singular and Cosa state facendo? in the plural are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "What are you doing?" The choice depends upon whether the audience is of one (in the first case) or more (in the second) of the speaker's close group of family, friends, and peers. The respective pronunciations will be "KO-sa steye fa-TCHEN-do" and "KO-sa STA-tey fa-TCHEN-do" in Italian.

Answer 2

Che stai facendo? in the singular and Che state facendo? in the plural are Italian equivalents of the English phrase "What are you doing?" The two examples illustrate the present progressive tense in Italian, which is used to indicate the busy-ness of what the relevant parties are doing. The respective pronunciations will be "key steye fa-TCHEN-do" and "key STA-tey fa-TCHEN-do" in Italian.
