What's her deal?

[keannu]

The husband is asking like this about the ghost Melinda is dealing with nowdays. Is "what's her deal" "what does she want?" or "what is the bargain she wants?"

Mel- [/FONT][FONT=&#44404]What's her deal? [/FONT][FONT=&#44404] Her deal i'd say is she will never get to enjoy with her husband[/FONT]

The possible meanings you've suggested make sense and either may
well be corrrect but there is something missing in the dialogue
you've quoted:

Her deal i'd say is she will never get to enjoy with her husband

'Enjoy' is a transitive verb. It needs an object. Enjoy life for example.

As a NES, but not a teacher:

I would translate: "What's her deal?" in this case, based on Mel's response, as meaning: "What's her problem?".

Hope this helps

I agree. It's like "What is the deal with her?" asked to explain someone's behavior.

:up: ...except in the increasingly common 'Enjoy' we hear from waiters (especially in chains like TGIFriday, which trade on a pseudo-US atmosphere). Speakers of BR English used to say 'Enjoy your meal'. ;-)
