How are you? ni salamu inayouliza hali ya mtu. Huwauliza watu unaowafahamu, na kwa kawaida hawatarajii maelezo marefu katika jibu. Watu hujibu kwa kifupi na mara nyingi kwa namna chanya, kama Fine, thanks / I'm good / Not bad, kisha hurudisha swali: And you? Usemi ni wa wastani: unaweza kumwambia rafiki au meneja, au kuuandika mwanzoni mwa barua pepe ya kirafiki.

Kilichobadilika
Toleo la kwanza'How are you?' 'Normal, thanks. And you?'
Baada ya marekebisho'How are you?' 'Fine, thanks. And you?'
Normal inaweza kuonekana kuwa jibu fupi la kawaida, lakini kwa Kiingereza normal ni ya kawaida au ya aina inayotarajiwa, hivyo jibu hili husikika lisilo la kawaida katika salamu. Badala yake watu husema Fine, OK au Not bad.
Unapotaka kujua afya ya mtu kwa undani zaidi, kwa mfano baada ya kuugua, ongeza feeling: How are you feeling after the flu? Marafiki mara nyingi husema How's it going? au How are you doing? Huuliza jambo lilelile kwa namna isiyo rasmi zaidi.
Zamu yako
At a party I saw Kate, my old friend from school, and asked, '___? Are you still working at the bank?'
Onyesha jibu
How are you — Kate ni rafiki wa zamani wa shuleni, na unauliza hali yake, kwa hiyo How are you linafaa. How do you do hutumiwa katika kutambulishwa rasmi kwa mtu mpya; si salamu inayofaa kwa rafiki wa zamani hapa.
