English term or phrase: Are you adorable or what ?
Bonjour,
Je suis tombée sur cette phrase dans un dialogue de film. Un médecin s'échappe de son travail pour rejoindre sa petite amie dans un parc. Il arrive en blouse d'hôpital et la petite amie de s'exclamer en le voyant comme ça pour la première fois :
"Are you adorable or what ?" (Lui répond, "C'est la blouse.")
Comment traduiriez-vous cette question ? Je ne sais pas bien comment rendre ce "or what". Qu'est-ce qu'on dirait naturellement en français ?
Merci d'avance pour vos idées !

Mignon comme tout!


Explanation:
The "or what" is suffix that doesn't mean literally "or what." It's an intensifier. What she's saying is Gee but you're cute right now. Ergo my suggested translation (which is also short like the English source term.
