Asking "How are you?" in Arabic

Salam!

 

So, there are obviously many ways of asking "how are you" in Arabic like other languages.

Can someone please define which one is formal, informal, used among friends or slang etc. and their appropriate replies?

 

شكرا

well it depends where you are going to use it!

 

in gulf countries you may say: esh 3lomak? ايش علومك

in Iraq: shlonak? شلونك

in Jordan, Palestine, Syria and Lebanon: keef 7alak or keefak? كيف حالك أو كيفك

in Egypt: Ezzayyak? ازيك

North African especially Morocco: keedayer? كيداير

 

all these expressions are informal.. the formal one can be used everywhere: kayf al 7al? كيف الحال

or Kayfa antom? كيف أنتم

Ma akhbarak? ما أخبارك؟

 

Enjoy Arabic! *_^
