A more correct translation is 'Dov'\u00e8 che sei stato?' but the most common way to ask is 'Dov'eri finito?' is not grammatically correct, the correct one is 'Dov'\u00e8 che sei stato?' or simply 'Dov'\u00e8 stato?'"}, {"role": "user", "content": "I see, so the correct translation is not 'Dov'eri finito?'"}, {"role": "assistant", "content": "No, 'Dov'eri finito?' is not the correct translation of 'Where have you been?'.
