🇯🇵 How to Say How Are You in Japanese
how are you in Japanese
お元気ですか？
o-genki desu ka?
The standard way to say how are you in Japanese — safe in any situation.
Worth knowing: Japanese people don't ask this daily the way English speakers do — it's for people you haven't seen in a while. Day to day, a comment about the weather does the social work instead.
