🇮🇹 This is very cheesy and intentionally dramatic. It works more as banter with someone already receptive than with a stranger in a serious setting.

💬 Italian uses [devi essere] for "you must be" in the sense of a guess: [Devi essere stanco] = "You must be tired." The same pattern works in [devi essere felice] and [deve essere tardi].

💬 [Stare] + gerund often matches English "be doing": [stai correndo] = "you're running / you've been running" depending on context. You can reuse it with [sto cercando] or [stanno aspettando].
