what does Wie Bist du mean?

Answer 1

It literally means 'how are you', however, 'how are you' in German should be 'wie geht es dir' (or more formal 'wie geht es Ihnen').

Edit: "wie geht es dir" can be shortened to "wie geht's dir" or "wie geht's" but the correct German would be "wie geht es dir". I use either (it probably depends on where in Germany you are and on your age too... ;) ).

Answer 2

Literally translated it means "How are you?" But this transliteration is wrong.

If you want to sound like a complete foreigner, you can say "Wie geht es dir?" However, if you'd like to sound like you actually have some facility with the language, you would say "Wie geht's?" or "Wie geht es Ihnen?" in a formal/business setting.

However, if you're talking about the lyrics from a song, I think you mean "Wo bist du?" That translates to "Where are you?"

Answer 3

How are you is "wie geht's?"

Answer 4

'How are you' in German

please, do not give me a thumbs down...my answer is correct, this is what the phrase literally translates to. it may not be 'how are you?' as in the question, but that's what it translates to.

Answer 5

How are you? but not in the sense of hello, how are you? but literally HOW are you? are you short, tall, thin, fat etc

Answer 6

It's German right? It means "how are you".

Answer 7

It's German for "How are you".
