The phrase "how are you" in Hindi is commonly translated as "आप कैसे हैं?" (aap kaise hain?) when speaking formally or politely. For informal or casual conversation, it can be "तुम कैसे हो?" (tum kaise ho?). This phrase is used to ask about someone's well-being or condition. Here is a breakdown:
- "आप" (aap) means "you" (formal)
- "तुम" (tum) means "you" (informal)
- "कैसे" (kaise) means "how"
- "हैं" (hain) and "हो" (ho) are forms of the verb "to be" used with "आप" and "तुम" respectively
So, "how are you" literally means "you how are" in Hindi sentence structure. This phrase is used exactly the same way as in English to inquire about someone's state or health.
