Hva spiser du?
I'm learning Norwegian, and have a basic understanding of statements vs questions.

Du spiser egg. = You are eating eggs.
Spiser du egg? = Are you eating eggs?

Then there is the question "Hva spiser du?" which translates as "What are you eating?" (Jeg spiser egg, selvfølgelig! XP)

I would like to know how one would ask "What is eating you?"

Sorry that this example is so absurd...I'm just interested in the principle of how to ask what is being done to me rather than what I am doing.
What are you eating? vs What is eating you?
Who are you painting? vs Who is painting you?
What are you chasing? vs What is chasing you?

Thanks in advance!

Language pair: English; Norwegian
