Gość: Iwona Re: How are you doing.. IP: *.aster.pl / *.acn.pl 03.02.04, 13:40 If someone asks "How are you doing" he is more or really interested than the one who just ask "How are you". So more detailed answer should be given. "Fine" is not enough. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

Gość: marek Re: How are you doing.. IP: *.hwr.arizona.edu 04.02.04, 02:59 These two mean the same thing: it is a greeting (not a question!) The answer is "How are you?", "How do you do?" or similar greeting. Also acceptable is "I am fine" as if answering a real question "how are you?" Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś

The answer to "How are you" is "How do you do"? or "How are you"? I don't think so.... Unless it goes like that: "Hi, how are you?" "I am fine, thanks. How are you?" Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: maggie Re: How are you doing.. IP: *.wckp.lodz.pl / *.wckp.lodz.pl 04.02.04, 09:19 Hello, As far as I know "How are you doing?" concerns temporary situation while "How are you?" is more general although the answer seems to be the same for both :-)) and should be always "Oh, I'm fine, thanks very much" :-))) Kisses Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
Gość: steph Re: How are you doing.. IP: *.in-addr.btopenworld.com 04.02.04, 19:35 Nonsense, maggie. Don't come up with silly interpretations, based on some pseudo grammar, where none applies. 'How are you doing' is a meaningless greeting and not a real question, as someone has already explained. Young people tend to use it in place of a customary, and equally meaningless, 'how are you'. No more, no less. Fine, I'm doing just fine. Odpowiedz Link Zgłoś
