Fa'alelei can be split into 2 in order to fully understand what it means. Fa'a in this instance would be 'make' or 'do'. And lelei means 'well/good/right'. So to fa'alelei something would be to make it right. ??... Im just assuming that someone has told you to "do" this.

Answer 3

"What are you doing?" is the correct answer. Please, for all the contributors to this answer, this is the correct answer. The question "O a ou mea o fai?" is grammatically incorrect with the use of the word "ou". The question posed should have been "O a au mea o fai?" "Au" is the correct word, not "ou". If you want to use the literal translation, it would be: "What things are you doing?", which sounds odd, hence using "What are you doing?" would be the most appropriate. Ma lo'u fa'aaloalo lava.
