So far, this seems to be the best translation in the sense that
it will be taken to mean what I want it to mean.  The other
two: "Who/What is Chris to you?" don't seem as likely to be
taken with the meaning that I want to express by
English-speakers, though I see how this is an accurate literal
translation of the Lojban.
