This one’s like a vintage Rolls-Royce.
It looks good, sounds good, and always gets the job done...
👉 How are you?
💡 This chunk’ll be your go-to whenever you want to check in on someone.
And if you wanna sound SUPER-DUPER polite and respectful, just say ¿Cómo está? (the formal usted form) instead.
🌪️ When to whip it out
Whenever you want to greet someone with a friendly how are you:
¿Cómo estás, bro?
How you doing, bro?
¡Hola! ¿Cómo estás?
Hi! How are you?
¿Cómo estás? ¿Todo bien en el trabajo?
How are you? Everything okay at work?
⚠️ Tone
✅ Friendly, polite, and flexible.
✅ Can be formal or informal depending on delivery.
✅ You can expect a response (it’s NOT generally rhetorical!).
