"How are you" in Russian

​​In Russian, asking "how are you" depends heavily on whether you are speaking formally (to elders, strangers, or superiors) or informally (to friends, family, or peers).
Here is a breakdown of the main ways to ask, followed by five other common variations.
1. Formal vs. Informal "How Are You"
Informal: Как дела? (Kak dee-LAH?)
Literal: How are things/plans?
Usage: The most popular way to ask friends, family, and peers "How are you?".
Formal: Как у вас дела? (Kak oo vas dee-LAH?)
Literal: How are things with you? (Using the polite "Вы" - you).
Usage: Use with strangers, superiors, or in professional, polite contexts.
5 Other Ways to Ask "How Are You"
Here are five, more nuanced ways to ask how someone is doing in Russian:
1. Как поживаете? (Formal) / Как поживаешь? (Informal)
Pronunciation: Kak pa-zhi-VAH-ye-te? (Formal) / Kak pa-zhi-VAH-yesh? (Informal)
Translation: How are you living? / How have you been?
Explanation: A slightly more old-fashioned, polite, or thoughtful way to ask how someone is doing with their life.
2. Как жизнь?
Pronunciation: Kak zhizn'?
Translation: How's life?
Explanation: A very casual way to ask "How are you?" or "How is it going?" frequently used among friends.
3. Что нового?
Pronunciation: Chto NO-va-va?
Translation: What's new?
Explanation: Used to catch up with someone you haven't seen in a while to ask about recent developments in their life.
4. Как настроение?
Pronunciation: Kak nas-tra-YEH-niye?
Translation: How is your mood? / How are you feeling?
Explanation: A very common, polite way to ask about someone's emotional state or morale. It is suitable for both formal and informal situations.
5. Как оно?
Pronunciation: Kak a-NO?
Translation: How is it? / How's it going?
Explanation: An extremely casual, slang-like phrase to ask "How's it going?" among close friends or peers.
