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.

You don't, but this is a verb common phenomenon in French, called dislocation.
You basically build your core sentence using a pronoun instead of a noun, and you add information about what it is referring to outside of the core clause.
Instead of "Chris est où?", you might wanna use a pronoun "Il est où?", then refer to Chris outside of that clause: "Il est où, Chris?"
This is very common, and you'll see a lot of it in familiar French. You don't need to use it, but not using it generally is a tell you're not native or not fully comfortable with the language

c'est ou ce mec ?

d'apres moi "où est ce mec" et "où est chris" sont tout à fait correct et sonne plus naturel que avec le pronom ( pour un expression oral évidement)
