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 面对 这个 问题!
  • 快乐 女生究竟是谁?我们 广告 之后 就 告诉 你们!
  • 你 究竟 看 到 我 了 没有?

Note that 究竟 is more formal than 到底.
