3. Jak się masz? - How are you ?

So you,ve just said ''Hello''. The other person seems pretty nice and you want to ask how the person is feeling... Let's see what you an say in this case:




słownik - dictionary:

- Jak się masz ?       -How are you ?
- Jak się Pan ma ?   -  How are you Sir ?
 Jak się Pani ma ?    - How are you Madam ?


:) more everyday, informal language, among friends:

- Jak tam ?        - What's up ?            ( literally  How there ?)

- Jak leci ?        - What's up ?           ( literally:  How is it flying ? )

- Co u ciebie ?    - How are things?       ( literally:   What's at your place?)

- Co słychać ?    - How are things ?         (literally: What is heard ?)


Hmm.... How could you reply ? Generally people just say "Dobrze" - Well. 
However, when they are in a more melancholic mood, they like to become more honest and express their frustration about the health, politics, and of course weather :)


- Świetnie                   - Great

- Dobrze, dziękuję.    - Well, thank you.

- W porządku            - Alright

- Nieźle                      -  Not bad

- Nie najgorzej           - Not the worst

- Tak sobie                 - So so

- Nic nowego              - Nothing new

- Strasznie                  - Terribly
- Okropnie 

-  Masakra                 -  disaster,  (literally: massacre)
