what does "o-genki deska? "?

Question

mean in English (I think it is Japanese)

Answer 1

It is Japanese. It literally means "are you in your original ki"? In other words, it is a way of asking if you are feeling healthy today. It is the Japanese equivalent of "how are you"?

"KI" is the idea, originally from China, that everyone has a life force flowing through their body, and that if your ki gets backed up, you get sick.

-------edit-----
In case you are wondering, the polite response is "Okagesama de" (literally means, I am fine, "thanks to you, to God, etc."). Also, the informal expression "(Ee) gen'kin desu" can be used ["Learn Japanese, Vol. I", University of Hawaii Press}

Answer 2

Usually, you would reply "Hai genki desu." but you could also say "Genki desu" which is less polite. As other people have said, you could also add thank you "Hai, genki desu, arigato."

Answer 3

like everyone else said. it means "how are you" and yes its in Japanese.
the "o" infront of the "genki" makes it a polite way of asking someone how they are

Answer 4

It's the equivalent of "How are you?" ... It's basically a very nice greeting.

Answer 5

How are you?
