For more links on greetings, look up greetings in the WordReference dictionary. "I'm fine," is perfectly OK, as are " Fine, thank you./ Fine. How about you?" Strictly speaking, "I'm good," refers to your moral condition, not to your health, and is not accepted as a reply to "How are you?" Not so strictly speaking, it is said with such freqency that it is now almost a standard reply. 'How are you?' refers to the idea of 'how are you feeling today?' The answer would be an adverb ( = I am feeling well or fine). 'Good' on its own strikes me as sloppy. It is an ajective. Grammatically, it is inappropriate. The question is not: 'What are you?' 'Good, thanks' ( = I am a good person). Or: 'Evil!' I believe that to answer 'good' derives from 'to feel good', which is colloquial and perhaps an Americanism. The proper phrase is 'to feel well', as in: 'I don't feel very well today.' In other words, it is bad grammar. As we all know, 'to feel good' is used extensively today, particularly by young people and people working in the media, in my experience. PS I have put my tin-hat on as I expect a barrage of abuse further to this post. As a non-native, I must say I find the use of "feel good" acceptable only when said by James Brown. What Ffrancis said is quite interesting, for at school we've been told exactly the opposite. So I don't understand why James Brandon fears abuse. I think his answer was a good one, and very well-written EDIT: Of course, I only said that because I know it's the...

What makes language so exciting is the fact that it allows you to express your thoughts and ideas in various manners. Choosing the right words, tones, and phrases can even affect the relationship you are establishing with whoever you are talking with. To help you get started, this post will give you the best alternatives for the basic how are you in the English language. English is undoubtedly one of the most interesting languages in the whole world. Aside from the fact that it is deemed as the Earth’s st century English is way too different from how it is used in the olden times.

• shares • • • • How are you and What’s up are so commonplace. We’re posed the two questions multiple times daily. How to respond to them? How to reply to how are you? Before coming to the response, let’s quickly understand the intent behind the question, which many don’t understand. What does how are you actually mean? How are you is a way to greet. It’s not an enquiry into your state of affairs. When someone pops how are you, they don’t want to know what’s going on in your life. The good. The bad. None of that. This expression is a plain-vanilla greeting, which requires an equally plain-vanilla, though quick, response such as good or fine (more on it follows). So, next time someone shoots how are you at you, don’t launch into your tale of woes or the big prize you won last week. The other person doesn’t want any of that. Looking for more conversations and introductions? Here are few: • • With the meaning behind, let’s come to reply to the question. You can reply in few ways, four of which are: X: How are you? Y: Good. How are you? Or Y: Good. And you? Or Y: Good. How about you? People also say I’m good instead of Good. Great and good, both, are positive responses and show that you’re in good spirits. However, people often say these expressions just for the sake of it – completing the greeting loop. They may have recently lost job or suffered other catastrophic setback, but they would still say great or good and quickly pass by. Only in few cases, they’ll speak the truth ...
