When you have the chance to work, travel or live in foreign countries, it’s necessary for you to greet others politely and casually. Other than saying ‘ how are you’, do you know any other ways to say hello ? Let’s forget about ‘ how are you’  and ‘I’m fine, thank you’ and learn the following ways for greeting !

 

Are you alright ?

Q: Are you alright ?

A: Not bad.  /  I get by.  / Not feeling so good.

 

How’s life treating you ?

Q: How’s life treating you?

A: Pretty good. / Nothing special.

 

What’s new ? / What’s up?

Q: What’s new ?

A: I’m doing ok.  / Nothing much.

 

How’s your day?

Q: How’s your day?

A:It’s going well.  / Not so good.

 

To continue the conversation, you can try to ask ‘ how about you’ , showing that you care about how is his / her day doing too.
