Which are correct:


1-What do you want that you are leaving us?

2-What do you want in search of which you are leaving us.
3-What do you want in search of which you think you have to leave us.

All three are terrible. What is it that you wish to express?

Navi, I assume that either Urdu or Hindi is your native language--because what you have written is the exact translation of what we say in Urdu. If I'm right in my assumption, then this is correct.

Quote:
1) Why are you leaving us?
2) Why in the world/ on earth are you leaving us?

Thanks Mr. Micawber and Tom,
The first one is used in Armenian as well.

I meant to say:
What do you want (what are you after), the search for which makes you leave us?
or to be more precise:
There is something you are after and you think that in order to get it you have to leave us. What is it?

What are you leaving us for?
Why are you leaving us?

Yours are awkward and unnatural in English, navi.
