Think about 'greeting'

(200)

カテゴリ：カテゴリ未分類

Today I think about hot to do greetings in English.

Firstly "how are you?" or "how are you doing?".

I am not sure about difference between these two.

I think "how are you doing?" is more friendly usage.

Let's think about replying "how are you?"!

I learned the reply "I'm fine thank you ,and you?" in my junior high school .

If my remember is right, I learned only this expression.

When English lesson started, the English teacher said "how are you everybody?" to students.

There was no other expressions...

But Is it usual usage in English?

I don't think so.

"How are you?" is the start of conversation.

It is absolutely strange always same.

In japan we say "Genki?"

reply " un ma- ma- ... saikin xx nandayo- "

"Genki?" is the opening of conversation.

The reply would be the first topic of conversation.
......

So What expression I reply?

Pretty good

Not so bad

Not good

Terrible!

So so...

I think it is more important after these reply.

e.g. Good ! because ...

e.g. Terrible!! I caught new influenza!

....
