How are you?
**English* Translation** **How are you?** This is the most simple question everyone encounters everyday. How would you answer? You may answer as “I’m fine”. How about you? But a lot of thoughts come pouring into your mind. A lot isn’t it? Now tell me. Do you really say the truth? Tagalog* Translation **Kumusta ka?** Ito ang pinaka simpleng tanong na palagi mong sasagutin araw-araw. Paano mo ba sya sasagutin? Siyempre sasabihin mo “Mabuti naman ako”. Ikaw kumusta ka naman dyan? Pero Madami nang sumagi sa iyong utak at kaisipan. Hindi nga ba? Pero ngayon sabihin mo sa akin. Sinasabi mo nga ba ang katotohanan?

When I say: Yes i'm fine" It's true even if I have some problems or can be at some point ill, etc. What do you feel right now, it's for me. As an utopic optimist, I feel all right most of the time. It's all in the head. You must have the capacity to put the marigolds in a drawer so that they are only dealt with when necessary. Otherwise, you carry this burden every passing minute. Life is Beautiful! I'm fine :0)
Yeah that is true that is why I always say I am fine as well whenever someone asks. Even if some situations are in total chaos..
Well, the question how are you is more and more becoming a casual saying among humans... And the reply too is also becoming casual with any thought to the question asked.
Yeah that is another perspective as well. It has a casual tone in it, likely a yo-yo effect.
Hello sis hahaha first comment ko sayo. Wala na kong masabi e hahaha pero kung ano ano nalang para humaba so ayun mga ilang words ba kailangan hahaha pero salamat sa pagturo siguro araw araw na ko magcocomment sayo.
Ui wag dito dapat dun sa comment ng May community walang points kapag sa article ka nag comment
Ah okay haha sorry sorry
This question is now becomes a formality for most of the people. And the answer also. You tell that we are fine but are we really fine? That's the most important question i guess!!!
Yeah @piku sometimes they answer that they are fine but they are not really
Thanks for asking that question. We are all fine. How about you? Yeah, it is a normal thing and I appreciate that way.
Hahaha @sirmagz32 Kahit Hindi ok sasabihin padin Na okay dahil habit Na sabihin Na okay..
You are right sister. The expression is normally used to provide answer to the immediately asked question. Deep down the heart the real expressions differ from person to person. Thanks.
@olad yeah brother you definitely got the bulls eye on this one ☝️ that is the point.
Yeah I'm really fine. *Of course I'm not*. But it is easier to say you're fine than to explain yourself why you're not.
Yeah truelalu @gwenie it’s easier to say that because they will just add to the burden
I am always be fine. Because I am positive minded person. thank you very much for your article. keep writing
@nipa1234 that is nice being positive is good nowadays no one can be so positive all the time
Mostly I reply am fine just to avoid many more questions of why am not fine if that’s the case
I have to be fine always because people prefer hearing smile fine than hearing your problems
@favour yeah true people prefer being fine than not..
In Urdu (Pakistan national language) Kaisey ho? . For me how are you is a conversation starter
I think most times we don't but we think we do. We're so used to saying "I'm fine", but sometimes we're not. And that phrase just comes in as an auto response.
