How are you? in many languages

Posted by Emilie on August 26, 2009
In most languages, this phrase is used more as a greeting or part of a greeting rather than as a enquiry about your health. The reply is often along the lines of "I'm well/fine, thank you, and you?"In Albania..they say "Si jeni?" and the answer is 'Mirë"Tell us about your languages..

    In Afrikaans they say "How are you: hoe gaan dit met jou"

    A usual response would be "Very good, thanks. And You? : Baie goed dankie, en self?"
