[@profesordanielalvarez3498]

It happens exactly the same in Spanish language 😅

[@EASYTIGER10]

I'm a Brit. I generally say "I'm good thanks, you?" unless I'm in tears and obviously not good...

[@isathebell]

Rachel, I understand it's common to say I'm good instead of well. But if I say I'm good...doesn't it sound like "I'm a good person"? Thanks

[@rachelsenglish]

It can also have that meaning, but you'll be able to tell which meaning a person is using by the context of the conversation.

[@tomasmrazek8506]

Yeah, I hate this so much. So hypocritic and stupid. I always say fine in such a tone to show my discomfort having to react to this BS.

[@gatormcklusky5850]

i hate when a store clerk or someone in a field along those lines asks me this, or how's it going. why? because as of late i have been the soul caregiver for my dying mother & i'm often very tied & emotionally not well due to some of the things i deal with, so when i walk in somewhere & i'm asked this at times i feel i could just blow up on the spot, i do realize this is asked out of kindness, i think, but im just not in the mood & i really don't know how to answer, its kinda like do you really want to know cause we could be here a really long time & i could start yelling or crying depending on the day. am i making to much out of this? i shouldn't let it get to me should i.

[@cedricpako8268]

Thanks Rachel. I often said, "I'm good, what's up ?"😊

[@ghilmaantahakhan1539]

I have learned all the replies. From now on,i am going to use these answers in my daily conversation.Like if someone ask me "How are you?" and i understand that he actually wants to know 'How I am?' If I'll be in a good mood then I'll reply him... "Great".Can i also say this "Can't complain" Rachel Madam?

[@rachelsenglish]

These are good replies!

[@balozaezz4495]

Hi Rachel🎉🎉 I have a question about English not being a phonetic language. I was on a video chat with a native American who studied linguistics in college. We came across the technical jargon "cephalalgia" and he did not know how to pronounce it and told me to hang on while he checks the dictionary for pronunciation!!!!! My question is: I used to believe that the pronunciation of the dictionary is brought from how old native used to pronounce words. But after this situation with cephalalgia, I started thinking that natives take their pronunciation from the dictionary. However, if this is the case, then where did the dictionary obtain its pronunciation! So what is what and which is which?? Sorry for making it long. I'm DESPERATELY waiting for your answer Thanks for always being there❤

[@rachelsenglish]

Interesting! Native speakers often check dictionaries to learn meanings and common pronunciations of new words for us. Dictionaries are updated often, most at least once a year from what I understand. I imagine the pronunciation guides are based on the most common pronunciations of words that the dictionary teams can find in their research, but I'm not entirely sure what process they use to discover which pronunciations are the most definitive.

[@ahmedrahman7075]

Hey Rachel, l missed you too much.A Long time without communication with my beloved Rachel.Ihave just now reacted with your idium"how are you". Of course your explanation is great as usual,but I think this idium has changed its meaning by time and have become a key word to proceed to different subjects,depending on the mode of persons ,talking to each other?!.

[@rachelsenglish]

Hi! Yes, this is definitely a flexible way to greet someone, or start a conversation.

[@khalandardhamanekar4328]

Rachel will u create some more videos ......to use in our daily life

[@albertokalfayan5395]

Hi Rachel. Excellent class about this expression. lastly, I got the feeling that It has been devalued a lot. Probably, it's because there are people that are looking for content at all cost?. Expression like this: don't use this and that in order to sound more American. At the same time I got to say that other ways to express something expands our vocabulary. It may sound as an oxymoron,perhaps. The difference is that in this class you gave us a thourougly explanation about this expression. In my opinion I'ts good to learn more,but it could be conterproductive and more confusing for foreign students,which in your class was not the case at all.

[@rachelsenglish]

[@uselessvad2444]

My automatic response to that is always 'I'm good'. I consider the question merely a conversation starter. But it can be used differently in many other circumstances. Every time I crash into something in this rally game, my co-driver says to me, "How are YOU?", or "Feeling a bit shaken", or "I'm okay, you?", or my favorite "That knocked the breath out of me". Yeah I crash a lot in that WRC (Word Rally Championship) game

[@kevinvitualla]

i noticed when i was watching The Office most of the time they usually said "hower you". I have a question rachel which of the question we put the stress? In this video you emphasized ARE and does it have an underlying meaning? thanks for answering. i love this kind of video

[@rachelsenglish]

I am glad you enjoyed the video! For "How are you?" the stress can be on any or all of the words, and the meanings are slightly different -- "How ARE you?" might express excitement to have the opportunity to ask this. "HOW are you?" might be a clarification of the word "how", and "How are YOU?" might clarify that you are asking about a specific person. If you are contracting "are" to "'re", it will not be stressed.

[@ayemon6089]

In what situation should we use crazy?

[@rachelsenglish]

"Crazy" can mean busy -- "My schedule's so crazy this week!" It can also mean shocking or surprising -- "It was crazy when she said that!". You can describe a person's behavior, or the person themselves (although this is becoming less common), if they are behaving in an unusual or shocking way.
