The French equivalent to 'hobby' is 'passe-temps'. But there are a couple of ways in which you may ask after another's hobbies. One way is Comment passes-tu le temps?, or Comment passez-vous le temps? The first question is to close acquaintances and friends, and to family. The second question is to those whom you consider senior in age or rank, or whom you don't know well yet. In the word-by-word translation, the adverb 'comment' means 'how'. The verbs 'passes' and 'passez' mean '[you] spend'. The personal pronouns 'tu' and 'vous' mean 'you'. The definite article 'le' means 'the'. The noun 'temps' means 'time'. Another way is Quels sont tes passe-temps?, or Quels sont vos passe-temps? Again, the first question is to close acquaintances and friends, and to family. The second is to those senior or not close to you. In the word-by-word translation, the interrogative pronoun 'quels' means 'what, which'. The verb 'sont' means '[they] are'. The possessive adjectives 'tes' and 'vos' mean 'your'. The noun 'passe-temps' means 'past-times, hobbies'.
The word for "hobbies" in French is : passe-temps.
