how are you in different languages
You will say “Hello.” or “Hi.” first when you meet people.
After that, we often ask “How are you?”.
It might not always mean that you really want to know how are they on that day or recently, but it’s common to say it as a part of greeting.
Let’s see how to say “How are you?” in 50 different languages.
