How do you say this? There is a kid who is always looking at me and I would like to know why.

Thanks.

I thought the question should be:

See something you like?

hahahaha nice one Late to dinner that uses humour to difuse what could be a tense situation - FELIZ77, Jul 24, 2010
would that be something like Puedes ver / Ves algo que guste? - FELIZ77, Jul 24, 2010

What are you looking at...if you just want the regular translation is qué miras? That's if you see someone looking at something and you're wondering what they are looking at. wink. Otherwise, see the above answers.

What are you looking at? Depending on your intonation this might be perceived as a challenge? I would phrase it as "Why are you always looking at me?" If this refers to a young man, then, well, it might be basic biology.

¿Por qué siempre me miras [fijamente}?

"¿Qué miras" or "¿Qué me miras?" or "¿Qué tanto me miras?" are the standard expressions for such cases.

Samdie's suggestion is good, too, but less literal, of course.

You'll have to tell us which one you used and how it turned out!

Any of the words that are not familiar to you in these answers can be double-clicked for an immediate translation (most of the time) and when you find one you like you can usually get the pronunciation by putting it into the Translate box and then clicking on the speaker icon!

Good luck!

I would say

"¿Que lo miras?"

But not sure if that is 100% correct...

I agree with Gfreed that the question "Why are you always looking at me?" would come across as less challenging and if this kid's reason for looking at you was acceptable to you it could leave the door open to a friendship if that was what you both wanted.

"Why are you always looking at me?"

=¿Por qué siempre me miras ?
