So, it's been 6 weeks since my internship started. It's gonna end in like 4 weeks. I have a mid internship review coming up which would be like a 1:1 with my manager. So I am planning to know his intentions of converting me to a FTE, but I don't know how should I ask him or in a way that I don't sound weird(idk what word to use). Also any tips for 1:1's, like what all should be asked and stuff?

It is OK to ask your manager in a direct and professional manner because this is a valid and professional question.
For example, you can talk to him and ask him as follows:
I really enjoy working here. It has been a great experience. I've learnt a lot, and always get along well with everyone. I will be very happy to finish the remainder of this wonderful internship with your team. By the way, after this internship, I will be looking for a full time job. Do you have any opening for a full time position? If yes, can I apply for it? Do you think I have a good chance of getting this full time position?

Ask directly
I'm having a really good time here and I think I'm doing well. I'd be very interested in a full-time role. What do you think ?
A few things to consider
- It's best to have the performance review first and get the feedback. If your boss tells you that you are doing great, they can't easily backpedal later
- However, keep an eye on the clock. Make sure there is enough time left after the review to dive into the full-time question.
- If the feedback you are getting is mostly negative, than this will be unlikely to fly. Still there is no harm in asking, but you can play it by ear.
- An evasive answer counts as a "no". You are already 6 weeks in with only 4 weeks left. If they are planning on keeping you, they already know by now or are very close to make the call. Start polishing your resume and applying elsewhere.
