If you're asking about a female, the translation would still be 'Perch\u00e9 \u00e8 in citt\u00e0?' because '\u00e8' is a verb form that doesn't change based on the gender of the subject in this context. However, if you're asking about a group of people, you might use 'Perch\u00e9 sono in citt\u00e0?' which translates to 'Why are they in town?'"}]
