What are you

[Allifathima]

1. What are you here for?
2. For what are you here?
3. What is the reason you are here?
I hope all above are correct. Am I right?
How do the native people ask this question?

Hi,

(1) is acceptable. (2) is grammatically correct but sounds very formal and unnatural. (3) needs to be amplified to: What is the reason you are here for?. I must say that the simplest question to ask is: Why are you here?
