20 Ways to Ask 'How Are You' in English [Expand Your Vocabulary]

Published 2020-07-01
“How are you” doesn’t always sound like ‘how are you’ in English. Expand your English vocabulary and conversation skills with 20 different ways to ask ‘how are you’ in casual and professional conversations.

Plus, you’ll learn 3 common questions we ask when we haven’t seen someone for a long time.

With each question, you’ll learn EXACTLY what the question is really asking (it’s not always what you think) and how to best respond.

I’ll also highlight some of the pronunciation changes you’ll hear.

    Thank you Annemarie. You explained the subtlety of those questions very well. Now I know how to reply and what people are expecting to hear.
  • This video was one of the best since it has been uploaded just before we stop working from home and coming back to the office. Everyday, I am in the middle of the same situation for greeting to many colleagues after a long time, and I was looking for various interesting questions and responses. Many thanks dear Annemarie!

    The, "Asking a second time" tip is very important especially in the Southern US, for it is an extension of other polite ways of signaling to the other person you really care/are in a stable position, etc.. For example, in the Southern US, if someone asked you if you wanted something to eat or drink and you said, "No, thank you," people would always ask, "Are you sure?" which is a signal for "please, I have enough to share, help yourself/take some. " According to Historian Ken Burns, this "2nd asking" rose up after the Civil War. Most people were poor during the 12 year occupation period, but still held to polite social rules & niceties, like the sharing of food when in the presence of others. However many were starving or close to it, so mothers re-taught their children to always say "No, thank you," at the first asking-- and only if a 2nd asking occurred, were they OK to except food /& hospitality from others. This was a way of signaling there was indeed "enough" to share and the sharing posed no burden to the person asking.
  • @BrightKim
    Thank you so much, So useful expressions of say hello :)
  • It's so weird because before I was just saying I'm fine and you. After searching for better answers I found out that I was wrong. So now I got it , I say something more natural and professional. Thank you for the advice.
