Asking for someone's current location.
Contexto cultural
Estonians are very punctual. Asking 'Kus sa oled?' is a polite way to remind someone of the time. Similar to Estonia, Finns value directness. 'Missä olet?' is the Finnish equivalent. In Russia, 'Где ты?' (Gde ty?) is used. It is also direct but can sound more demanding depending on tone. Swedes use 'Var är du?'. It is neutral and common in daily life.
