¿Cómo va todo?

(survival chunks)
B1 (¡Ya le agarras la onda!)Used EVERYWHERE 🇲🇽Standard Spanish 😌

🧠 What it means

This chunk’s like a blanket check-in, so super handy when you’re not asking about one specific thing, just general vibes. It translates well to: 👉 How’s everything? / How’s it all going? 💡 It’ll often elicit responses like todo bien, ahí andamos, or ahí vamos.

🌪️ When to whip it out

Whenever you want to know how someone’s doing generally:

¡Qué onda, wey! ¿Cómo va todo?
What’s up, bro! How’s everything going?

— ¿Cómo va todo por allá?
— Bien, con mucho calor, pero todo bien.
— How’s everything over there?
— Good, it’s super hot, but all good.

⚠️ Tone

✅ Neutral and polite.

✅ Slightly more all-encompassing than ¿Cómo estás?

✅ Works great with acquaintances, coworkers, neighbors, suegros… pretty much everyone.
