Please be patient

Our volunteers look into many questions every day; sometimes it takes them a little while to answer.

Pro tip: you can rename the thread title with `.tr <thread name>`

Make it descriptive, including relevant context, but also to the point. This way you improve your chances of getting a more relevant and specific answer.

Qu’est-ce que j’ai fait ?

merci bcpp

"qu'ai-je fait ?" is the formal variation using inversion

all three sentences are grammatically correct, using the three ways of asking questions in French (intonation, est-ce que, inversion)

[fierce atlas]

ah thank you!! which ones would be considered casual? ^^

[urban sand]

your sentence is informal. the est-ce que variation a bit less so, still used casually.
inversion is very formal and never used casually

ah i see!!!! merci bcp flynn 🥹🥹🥹

I feel like you wouldn't use "j'ai fait quoi" for surprise at doing something unintended (oh god what have I done) but if you're asking what you did to upset someone for example it could work imo
"Qu'est-ce que j'ai fait?" Could work for the surprised example though

[fierce atlas]

ah so how i say it depends on the context??

[warped arrow]

There will always be contexts for certain ways of saying things, formality is usually the main factor but sometimes there are other things that come into play
