When someone asks you "what on earth are you doing?", "on earth" is used by the speaker to intensify the question. 究竟 (jiūjìng) can be used in the same way.

For example:

  • 究竟 喜 不 喜欢 我?
  • 究竟 吃 什么?每天 都 得 想 这个 问题!
  • 快乐 女生 冠军究竟 会 是 谁?广告 之后 就 告诉 你们!
  • 究竟 看 到 我 了 没有?

Note that 究竟 is more formal than 到底.
