Share how you're going and what you're planning to do in the next 6 months in comments below and hopefully we can all keep each other a little more accountable.

As a result I want to Joey: (Teaching Ross to talk dirty) If you can't talk dirty to me, how are you going to talk dirty to her? Now, tell me you want to It is bound to be a wild ride. The polarized political age we live in was created and shaped, in no small part, by the Roe decision, and the animosities generated by it have seeped into every corner of public life. As Chief Justice John Roberts said in his concurrence, "This is a serious jolt to the legal system"—and not just the legal Part of the problem is the concept of "life purpose" itself. The idea that we were each born for some higher purpose and it's now our cosmic mission to find it. This is the same kind of shitty logic used to justify things like spirit crystals or that your lucky number is 34 (but only on Tuesdays or during full moons). Here's the truth. Fine, good, not bad No, they aren't particularly American. Most European languages use a cognate form of this: Comment ca va? Come stai? Wie gehts? Vay Tiền Nhanh Chỉ Cần Cmnd. I was just wondering if the question/greeting "How're you going?" is correct usage? I know it's more prevalent in Australia because I live here and have heard it very often. I guess the American version is "How're you doing?", but I'm not sure. I'm assuming all these are very informal in their usage. Any insights would be great. asked Oct 2, 2014 at 431 5 All right. Turns out, it is a greeting, after all! Perhaps quintessential AusE Australia & New Zealand. Jim Nicolson, Long Creek, 2010, GoogleBooks emphasis added From the Preface The principal settings are two cattle runs ranches in Australia's Northern Territory … In 1947, Darwin's population was 2,538 …… "G'day, Murranji," he called out. "I thought you were still over at the River." "Yeah? How're you going, young feller?" "Good."… "No way Jack'd miss the races and a chance to catch up with old mates. How're you going, Jack?" Brian called out. "Not bad. An' how're yer drinkin', fellers? Left any beer in O'Hara's?"

I've been living in England for the past 15 years and have been studying English grammar for about 14, and have not heard 'how're you going' as a way to greet someone else. It must, most certainly, be an Australian and New Zealander expression, but I have to say though I haven't ever heard my Aussie friends saying it; perhaps because they might know that it's not the way the Brits would say it. My suggestion is, always communicate in the same way the locals do; that shows respect,that you're well integrated in their way of living, and you'll sound less foreign. answered Jan 10, 2019 at 1258 I don't know how you'd judge whether this is formal or informal, but it is a very natural Australian greeting. Personally I would use it when talking to pretty much anyone. I guess it corresponds to "How are you doing?" but I'm not fully aware of all of that phrase's connotations. It's perhaps best known for Joey's attempts to pick up girls in Friends. answered Oct 2, 2014 at 827 curiousdanniicuriousdannii5,6677 gold badges32 silver badges42 bronze badges 2 1 Hi dear native speakers of English, I'm wondering about the commonness of "how are you going" as "how are you". I've observed that an Australian I often chat with asks me that every time. Since I "correctly" expected it to mean "how are you" I had to find it out after turning the table since there's no entry in my dictionary, I also said this to a mate from South Africa, but he didn't know this way of saying that. I know for sure that it's said in Scotland since a Scotsman confirmed it for me. 2 I've never heard of "How u going," but "How u doin'?" is popular in the US. Nothing seen on Internet chat boards surprises me anymore. 3 I've never heard this phrase before. What I do hear, very often, is "How is it going?" meaning "How is your life going?" 4 I've heard it but usually "How're you going?" I woudn't use it because it can mean "How are you travelling". "How're you going?" "I'm taking the train" 5 I find "How're you goin' " more common than "How're you doin' " in Ireland. Other expressions are "How're thin's" and "How's she cuttin' ". Last edited by a moderator Nov 4, 2011 6 How're you going? How's it going. Both very usual in Australian. Now in England thanks to Australian soaps on TV. 7 How're you going? not one I know, I avoid Aussie soaps, wherever possible. How's it going, now that I've heard all my life. Alright mate? How's things? How are you doing? 8 When we BE ask each other "how's it going?" "how are you doing?" "how's life?" etc. we do not actually expect an answer that wavers much from..."alright". Whilst in the US, I tested out whether or not the AE speaker would give a different response...in general they did "Pretty good" was most often heard, but "Hey, it's getting better everyday", was one of my favourites. my off-the-cuff survey took place in Utah, Colorado and Nevada, in case things are different elsewhere. 9 Having lived in Australia, I assure you that "How you going?" is the most common greeting you'll hear down there. When I first moved there, this was an insult to my Canadian ears, but after about 6 months I found myself greeting friends, strangers and everyone in between with "How ya going, mate?" I still do this, even now that I'm back in Canada and it drives a lot of Canadians mad 10 but after about 6 months I found myself greeting friends, strangers and everyone in between with "How ya going, mate?" Until you wrote it like that with "ya" and "mate" I couldn't imagine an Australian saying it, but now I definitely can. 11 Where I grew up right near NYC, the two most common even sometimes trumping "what's up?" are How you doin'? always without the G lest you be confused for a tourist/foreigner How's it goin'? I go to school in North Carolina and I've realized that whenever I go for a sub around here which is a painful experience as a snobby New York-eatery buff, the interaction always goes like this Sandwich lady Hey, whatchu won't read want on ya sub, sugah? Person before me from Ohio Hi, can I have ham and cheese on white bread? She fills the order and I get up... Sandwich lady Hey, whatchu won't read want on ya sub, sugah? Me Hey, how's it goin'/how you doin'. Can I have a footlong Italian with turkey and swiss. I've noticed that people from my area are more likely to use this as a greeting. The presence and lack of question marks indicate inflection. People from where I'm from tend not to ask...they state. 12 Hi, I just bumped into some American friends here in an American school in Kyiv and said "how are you going?", who did not know what I was talking about. So yes, it is very Australian, and I thought quite common, but apparently not. Also I would generally use it in the sense of "how's it going" how is life going? how are things? nat from sydney Hi dear native speakers of English, I'm wondering about the commonness of "how are you going" as "how are you". I've observed that an Australian I often chat with asks me that every time. Since I "correctly" expected it to mean "how are you" I had to find it out after turning the table since there's no entry in my dictionary, I also said this to a mate from South Africa, but he didn't know this way of saying that. I know for sure that it's said in Scotland since a Scotsman confirmed it for me. 13 I've never heard "How you going?" as a greeting. There are no Australians around here that I know of. 14 Sorry for my bad english. How to answer for this question "How are you going/doing?" I get this question every day, but don't know how to answer correctly. Thank you. 15 "Alright, how're you?" "Alright thanks." "Not bad thanks." "How's it going/how're you doing?" In my part of the world at least, we don't really expect an answer from this question, it's not the same as asking "are you alright?", we tend to use it instead of saying "hello". 16 I'd say it's very common in America to say "how ya' goin?" as a greeting to people you know well instead of saying "good morning, good afternoon, etc.," and that it is not an actual question to sit down and have a heart-to heart talk about how you are going/doing in your life now, which to me is the understood context of it. I also agree you would expect a quick non-committal reply of "ok, pretty good, fine, not bad, etc., as a negative reply sounds like, once again, an invitation to discuss your problems...so a reply could be just simply something like "Ok, you? Fine, and you, how ya doin' yourself? To me it is very similar to the quick French "ca va?" "it goes?well/not well" where again there are huge things understood, it being your life, I suppose, and used as a quick greeting/salutation, not a real question. 17 I'd say it's very common in America to say "how ya' goin?" as a greeting ... I grew up 200 miles from your location and I've never heard that. I've also lived in New Orleans where some people say "Where y'at?" to which the answer is "Alright". 18 Super! Thank you for answers. Now it would be easer. 19 I just want to add as an Australian that people pronounce it differently, but most commonly it is said "how YOO going?", not "how ya going?". I've travelled a lot and grew up pretty familiar with the english vocabulary that varies around the world thongs, prawn, sunnies, togs etc. But this phrase is definitely the one that really shocked me that other English speakers genuinly did not understand. For me it's so utterly self-explanatory and until I moved to the states a few years ago I had no clue at all that I'd constantly be met with blank stares saying that. I just couldn't believe that people who said "how's it going" wouldn't get it. So I had to deliberately get used to saying "it" instead. At first I really had to think hard to wonder if other Australians even say it much, because it's so inconspicuous. It's no different to How are you, how's it going, how are things etc. 20 thank you guys. My question is if "How are you going" has two different meanings. Meaning 1 In greeting speech, it means "What's up?" Meaning 2 it is used for asking the way of traffic. For example, -"How are you going?" -"By air". Is my supposition correct? 21 Meaning 1 In greeting speech, it means "What's up?" Meaning 2 it is used for asking the way of traffic. For example, -"How are you going?" -"By air". Is my supposition correct? Yes ~ see post 4 above For meaning 2 you can also say How are you getting there? if you think there's any chance you might be misunderstood to mean meaning 1 22 Dale says "how ya going" is common in America, but I have never heard this and I have lived in many states, including Texas. How is it going? is common, as is "How are you doing?" As a foreign speaker I would not use "How you going?" in the I would think you were asking me what route I was taking to go somewhere. 23 I withdraw the comment on the grounds I must have very tired and had gotten lost in the thread! No, I've never heard "how ya going", only "how ya doing'" or "how's it going" as greetings. "how ya going" makes no sense as a greeting, and I could only understand that in a conversation about travel plans to mean "what means of transportation will you use?" 24 How you doin' - very popular in Brooklyn, NY. Perhaps in NY, informal. 25 How are you going, makes just as much as much "sense" as how are you doing. Its just a matter of what you're used to. 26 I have lived in Australia since I was a toddler 45 yrs ago. I had never realised there was a more common greeting than G'day until hosting a visitor on his first day in the country. almost everytime we greet someone, friend or stranger the first words are "How ya going?". meaning how are you today? out rates G'day ten to one. I am amazed to realise that. We also use it to enquire progress on a task... "how ya going?" with the task yr doing ie are you coping ok? Can also rightly be used to ask the mode of transport for a trip someone has told you of. Gday mostly comes in when passing a stranger or a local you dont know so well. In the street its a passing G'day. But when stopping to transact or talk its "How ya going? hands down number one greeting. One thing about Aussies... in the corporate world there are bosses and employees, but in the street everyone is "mate". Not much social heirarchy at all. 27 how are you going How are you going? A greeting inquiring about one's well-being and current activities. Primarily heard in Australia. Well, I haven't seen you in a while! How are you going?
