Large English-Russian Dictionary
– short, non-committal conversations, including with strangers, for example, in an elevator or in queues. To start a conversation, people ask familiar questions like “How’re you?” or “How’s going.”
Do you know how to answer them? Of course, “I’m fine” - after all, it’s not customary to complain, and no one is interested in your affairs and concerns. But you can come up with something else, add variety to the standard answer.
How are you?
- Fine. Brevity is the soul of wit. By limiting yourself to one “fine”, you are sending a clear signal that you do not intend to continue the conversation.
- Not bad. Sounds a little friendlier.
- Fine, thanks. This is a formal answer - just right for answering a stranger like a waiter in a restaurant.
- Very well, thanks. An ideally correct answer from a grammatical point of view, because the question “how” requires an adverb answer. Although, in general, few people worry about this, except that the English “grammar Nazis” may insist on observing this rule.
- Pretty good. Let's forget about grammar, long live the living language and everyday “good” and “pretty good”.
- Great! How are you doing? A full positive answer and mirroring the question to the interlocutor - now let him answer himself, and then, lo and behold, the conversation will begin.
- I"m hanging in there. This is what you can say if the day turned out to be difficult.
- I "ve been better. Yes, the answers are not always positive; there are also black streaks in life. If the answer sounds sad, then this implies that you want to tell your sad story, so the next question will probably be “What’s wrong?” - and your time will come to complain to the whole world.
How's it going?
It’s no different from “how’re you”, so you can safely use everything listed above. But there is one exception answer that works only for this case:
- It's going well. Friendly and polite, suitable for colleagues, clients and distant acquaintances.
What's up?
This question in expanded form sounds like “What's happening in your life?” Naturally, an honest narrative about the latest events of your life is not required - a short question still requires a short answer, perhaps one of these:
- Nothing much. The most popular answer, because most of the time nothing interesting happens. Although you can answer like this: “Nothing much.” Just preparing for a great weekend party.”
- Not a lot. Same “nothing special”, just a little different.
- Nothing. This answer sounds a little annoyed, perhaps rude.
- Oh, just the usual. It can be used if everything is absolutely the same and there is nowhere to expect variety.
- Just the same old same old. The same routine without a glimmer of novelty. What's different about this answer is that it shows that you're a little bored with it all.
- Oh gosh, all kinds of stuff! If the number of interesting events in your life is off the charts, answer like this.
(How are you? How are you doing?) is a question usually asked during a meet and greet. There can be a great variety of answers to it, as in the Russian language. Which answer to choose depends on the relationship between the speakers and on each specific situation. However, there is a classic formal answer that every beginner needs to know English from scratch: “ I'm fine thank you" (thank you I'm fine)
Pronunciation of the question “How are you?”
Listen to how this question sounds from a native speaker:
Using the transcription, repeat these sentences after Steve. Be sure to copy his intonation and speech rhythm.
Now watch a short video, in the second part of which you can also reproduce the phrases yourself using subtitles.
Possible answers to the question “How are you?”
I'm fine, thank you. How about you?
Fine, thanks. And you?
Thank you, good, how are you? This is a formal answer to a question from an unfamiliar or completely unfamiliar person - just a tribute to politeness. The same question asked in response already indicates your politeness.
Great!- Wonderful! Answer with enthusiasm, maybe you want to continue the conversation and be more specific about what's going on in your life.
Not bad- not bad
Very well, thanks- very good thanks
Pretty good- pretty good.
The difference between “How are you?” and “How do you do?”
« How do you do?" - How are you?
Sometimes there is confusion between these two questions, so pay special attention to the fact that “ How do you do?“is not really a question, this is another way of greeting a person you are seeing for the first time in your life. The correct reaction would be to either say the same thing in response, that is, say “ How do you do?", or say something like: "Nice to meet you" or "Hello". This greeting is used in formal situations, most often by the British.
- this is a question, but keep in mind that you should not rush to immediately tell the whole truth about your life, no one expects this, formally it is enough to answer “I'm fine thanks. And you?"
