What does where art thou mean?

"Where art thou" is an archaic way of saying "Where are you?"

It's a phrase from Shakespearean English, using the old-fashioned second-person singular pronoun "thou" and the verb "art" (a contraction of "are").

While grammatically correct in Shakespeare's time, it sounds very formal and poetic today. It's often used for dramatic effect or to evoke a sense of the past or romance.
