Expression: Where are you up to?

[Yasser]

im curious with "Where are you up to"

what does it mean? some time, i see someone meet with old friend and says where are you up to?...does it mean where have you been?

looking forward for your response...

thanks

[Alan]

Hi Yasser,

I suggest that 'Where are you up to?' means: How far have you got? You could ask this when you want to know how far someone has got in reading a book, following a series of exams and so on. If you want to know what someone is doing at the moment, you could ask: What are you up to these days?
