Are you already done?
I'm out eating with a friend. The friend suddenly places his knife and fork to indicate that he's done eating, even though he hasn't even finished half of the food on his plate. I'm surprised and ask -
Me: Are you already done? / Are you done already?
Friend: Yeah. I'm not so hungry.
Would this be completely natural? Where would you place "already"?
