What do you mean? · What's your point?
This is what you say when someone is being indirect, hinting at something, or not quite getting to the point. 🤔 It's like asking, 'Hey, just tell me directly what's on your mind!' when you're a bit confused or impatient. It helps clarify things!
💡 **Pro Tip!** While 'What are you getting at?' can be used neutrally, sometimes it carries a slight tone of frustration or impatience, especially if the speaker is being deliberately vague. Make sure your tone of voice matches your intent! 😉 It's usually for slightly more serious or pointed conversations than just casual chat.
When would you most likely use 'What are you getting at?' A. When a friend is describing their favorite hobby in detail. B. When someone is making vague hints and you want them to be clear. C. When you are asking for directions to a new place.
