1
00:00:00,180 --> 00:00:05,610
Hello, guys, in this lesson, we will learn ten different ways to ask how someone is.
2
00:00:06,180 --> 00:00:11,910
These phrases might be formal or informal, depending on your own situation.
3
00:00:11,930 --> 00:00:15,900
So guys, we must be very careful when using them.
4
00:00:16,380 --> 00:00:18,180
So are you ready?
5
00:00:18,450 --> 00:00:19,380
Let's dive in.
6
00:00:23,610 --> 00:00:27,690
OK, my dear friends, let's start with the first phrase, and that's how do you do?
7
00:00:28,110 --> 00:00:28,560
Yes.
8
00:00:28,650 --> 00:00:29,940
How do you do?
9
00:00:30,780 --> 00:00:31,500
How do you do?
10
00:00:31,500 --> 00:00:36,510
Is defined as a polite greeting that you can use when first introduced to someone?
11
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:45,060
An example of how do you do is what you would say as you shake hands with someone you meet for the first
12
00:00:45,060 --> 00:00:45,600
time.
13
00:00:46,440 --> 00:00:48,480
So guys, this is a formal phrase.
14
00:00:49,050 --> 00:00:52,350
This greeting is used on first meeting somebody.
15
00:00:53,270 --> 00:00:56,600
Alternatives are pleased to meet you.
16
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,760
Ah, nice to meet you.
17
00:00:59,700 --> 00:01:03,600
The formal response is to repeat the same phrase.
18
00:01:05,050 --> 00:01:08,340
Now, let's start with the phrase on question, how's it going?
19
00:01:08,350 --> 00:01:11,170
Which is the most popular way to greet people?
20
00:01:11,470 --> 00:01:12,430
How's it going?
21
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,830
This phrase, how's it going?
22
00:01:14,830 --> 00:01:20,080
Is another way to say, How are you or how are things progressing or what's up?
23
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,600
Actually, here it's carry four to life in general, a project or your day.
24
00:01:28,590 --> 00:01:35,220
It should be noted that this expression and EDM is said in many countries with the answer, expect it
25
00:01:35,220 --> 00:01:40,270
to be fine or good in American English.
26
00:01:40,290 --> 00:01:43,170
It's another way to say hello or hi.
27
00:01:43,560 --> 00:01:46,780
It's very informal, but it's not a serious question.
28
00:01:47,310 --> 00:01:53,670
You wouldn't be expected to answer with anything other than good or great.
29
00:01:54,750 --> 00:02:00,030
Another way to greet people is how are you doing or how are you doing?
30
00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:01,440
This is a short form.
31
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:02,970
How are you doing?
32
00:02:03,060 --> 00:02:03,510
Yes.
33
00:02:04,200 --> 00:02:04,860
How are you doing?
34
00:02:05,160 --> 00:02:05,820
How are you doing?
35
00:02:06,360 --> 00:02:12,270
This is a little more casual and friendly than how are you mostly use in America?
36
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:16,500
This is use with people who are familiar to this speaker.
37
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:19,410
Imagine I meet Jack.
38
00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:22,620
A friend of mine on the street, so I would tell him.
39
00:02:22,620 --> 00:02:25,620
I would say, Hey Jack, how are you doing?
40
00:02:26,610 --> 00:02:28,510
How are things, yes.
41
00:02:28,530 --> 00:02:29,490
How are things?
42
00:02:29,880 --> 00:02:33,330
This is another informal way for saying, how are you?
43
00:02:33,840 --> 00:02:41,580
We can also say, how are things with you or how are things going or how is everything?
44
00:02:42,180 --> 00:02:48,540
This is used for asking someone about their progress or their general situation.
45
00:02:49,200 --> 00:02:50,340
How are things?
46
00:02:50,940 --> 00:02:52,110
How are things with you?
47
00:02:53,260 --> 00:02:55,180
Long time, no see.
48
00:02:55,540 --> 00:03:02,800
This is a friendly way, said when you meet someone who you haven't seen for a long period of time.
49
00:03:03,310 --> 00:03:06,540
So we could start our greeting like this?
50
00:03:06,550 --> 00:03:07,360
Hey, Jack.
51
00:03:07,720 --> 00:03:08,680
Long time, no.
52
00:03:08,680 --> 00:03:13,870
See, this is my favorite phrase, and I use it in my everyday life.
53
00:03:14,890 --> 00:03:21,700
So, guys, this is an informal way to say that it is a long time since we last met.
54
00:03:22,750 --> 00:03:26,530
Another way to greet people is how have you been?
55
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:26,980
Yes.
56
00:03:27,490 --> 00:03:29,080
How have you been?
57
00:03:29,650 --> 00:03:31,600
This is similar to How are you?
58
00:03:31,610 --> 00:03:39,430
But How have you been is used when you haven't seen someone for a longer time, like several months
59
00:03:39,430 --> 00:03:40,900
or longer?
60
00:03:42,190 --> 00:03:43,450
How have you been?
61
00:03:43,900 --> 00:03:47,170
It's a common question from native English speakers.
62
00:03:47,740 --> 00:03:56,170
It's asking how you have been up to and how life has been for you from a certain point in time.
63
00:03:56,920 --> 00:04:04,240
Perhaps you have been asked how you have been doing since the last time you saw each other, or maybe
64
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:07,150
since the last time you spoke on the phone.
65
00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:09,280
How have you been?
66
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:10,840
How have you been?
67
00:04:11,920 --> 00:04:13,060
How are you keeping?
68
00:04:13,660 --> 00:04:14,660
How are you keeping?
69
00:04:14,680 --> 00:04:15,760
Have you heard it before?
70
00:04:16,360 --> 00:04:22,360
The scripting is not very common, but it is also used to ask if someone feels good or bad, happy or
71
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:26,170
well, for example, how are you keeping the jail?
72
00:04:26,550 --> 00:04:30,010
And this is mostly used by British speakers.
73
00:04:30,820 --> 00:04:37,720
Sometimes people say, Are you keeping well, this just means, are you well or how are you?
74
00:04:38,350 --> 00:04:39,430
Are you keeping well?
75
00:04:39,430 --> 00:04:40,900
Is a strange question.
76
00:04:40,900 --> 00:04:47,200
But if someone asks you that, you can reply just like, I'm fine.
77
00:04:47,200 --> 00:04:48,430
Thanks and you.
78
00:04:49,180 --> 00:04:50,140
What's up?
79
00:04:50,590 --> 00:04:51,340
What's up?
80
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:54,520
This is the most popular way to greet people, right?
81
00:04:54,550 --> 00:04:55,270
What's up?
82
00:04:55,600 --> 00:04:57,730
What's up means what's happening.
83
00:04:58,030 --> 00:05:01,010
Usually, people just reply nothing.
84
00:05:01,810 --> 00:05:07,360
I guess probably 99 percent of people answer like that.
85
00:05:07,360 --> 00:05:10,120
Or they would just say not much.
86
00:05:10,870 --> 00:05:11,710
Not much.
87
00:05:12,250 --> 00:05:21,580
And guys, the informal way to say what's up is sup sup or was up was up, for example.
88
00:05:21,940 --> 00:05:24,250
Subdued was up, dude.
89
00:05:25,650 --> 00:05:26,980
What's new?
90
00:05:27,060 --> 00:05:27,650
Yes.
91
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:28,830
What's new?
92
00:05:28,860 --> 00:05:31,860
Also, we can say what's going on.
93
00:05:32,430 --> 00:05:38,190
American English people use this as a friendly greeting to mean How are you?
94
00:05:38,460 --> 00:05:38,930
Yes.
95
00:05:38,940 --> 00:05:39,630
How are you?
96
00:05:40,440 --> 00:05:41,510
What's new, Jack?
97
00:05:42,490 --> 00:05:44,560
What have you been up to lately?
98
00:05:44,710 --> 00:05:45,070
Yes.
99
00:05:45,250 --> 00:05:47,680
What have you been up to lately?
100
00:05:48,220 --> 00:05:54,850
Well, it means I haven't seen you for a long time, so tell me, what have you been doing?
101
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:59,560
This greeting is informal, so this is an informal phrase.
102
00:06:00,130 --> 00:06:01,810
What have you been up to?
103
00:06:02,290 --> 00:06:07,360
Literally, it means what activities have you participated in recently?
104
00:06:07,900 --> 00:06:16,060
A reply might be I have started editing a book at work or I have moved to a new apartment.
105
00:06:16,540 --> 00:06:20,530
So guys, it means I have not seen you in some time.
106
00:06:20,530 --> 00:06:28,570
And I'm curious about your life since I met you last and could be answered the same way.
