A person can be asked where are you? in French using the phrase où êtes-vous?
Explanation:
In French, the word for where is où.
Depending on your relationship with the person you are speaking to, the wording of the question varies. It could be either où êtes-vous? or où es-tu?
Où êtes-vous? is the ‘vous’ or second person plural form of the question. Being the second person plural form, it is used when the question is being asked of a group of people. However, it is also used for individuals when the relationship between the speaker and the addressed is a formal or respectful one. It is used when speaking to a person who is older than and/or not familiar to the speaker.
Où es-tu? is the ‘tu’ or second person singular form of the question. It is used among friends and close family, and with those who are younger.
A general rule of thumb is, when in doubt about which form to use, use the ‘vous’ form.
