Meaning
अंग्रेज़ी में "What's with" एक आम बोलचाल का वाक्यांश है, जिसका उपयोग किसी परिस्थिति, व्यक्ति, या वस्तु के बारे में जिज्ञासा व्यक्त करने के लिए किया जाता है। इसका अर्थ होता है कि किसी विशेष तत्व के पीछे का कारण या उद्देश्य क्या है। यह वाक्यांश तब प्रयोग में लाया जाता है जब कोई कुछ असामान्य, विचित्र, या अप्रत्याशित देखता है और उसके बारे में विस्तार से जानना चाहता है।
उदाहरण के लिए, अगर कोई व्यक्ति बहुत ही अजीब कपड़े पहनकर आया है, तो आप पूछ सकते हैं: "What's with the strange outfit?" इसका अर्थ है कि आप उस व्यक्ति के अजीब कपड़ों के पीछे का कारण जानना चाहते हैं।
यह वाक्यांश अक्सर आश्चर्य या हल्की आलोचना के भाव के साथ प्रयोग किया जाता है, लेकिन इसका उपयोग मित्रता या हल्की चुटकी लेने के लहजे में भी हो सकता है।
