As a curiosity, in Portuguese it's ''como vai você''?

Hi there,
The phrase "How are you?" in French is:
Ça va ?
Comment ça va ?
Comment allez-vous ? (Formal and plural)
Comment vas-tu ? (Familiar and singular)
You can answer:
Ça va = Fine
Ça va bien = I'm doing well
Ça va mal = Not well
Pas mal = Not bad
Comme ci, comme ça = So-so
Je vais bien = I'm fine
For more French greetings check:

(You will find the French expression, the English translation and the audio file to practice the pronunciation!)

Comment vas- tu? (used informally for people you know like friends, people you own age, pets, and people younger than you)
Comment-allez vous? (used formally for people older than you, parents, teachers, always used when addressing groups, and people that you do not know well, people you have just met, strangers, the respectful form of "how are you", etc)
