This is a very important question and is used every day in all conversations around the world. In fact, it can also be considered a way to say hello in Japanese. So in this lesson you will learn the 22 Ways to ask How Are You in Japanese. Ready? Let’s go. 1. お元気ですか?Asking about their “genki-ness” – How are you?
 By the way, you should also hear real Japanese and its sounds. So, if you’re interested, here’s a quick lesson greetings from JapanesePod101.
2. 元気？Here’s the casual way to use with friends. All you have to do is say this with a question tone.
3. 元気だった?Another variation is… Have you been well? The difference here is that this is in the past tense. You want to know how they’ve been.
4. 最近はどうですか? How are you recently?This is another way to ask about them. In this case, you want to know how they are recently. Note, if you noticed above, keep the “desu ka” and it’s polite. Remove the “desu ka” and it’s casual.
5. 最近どう?And here’s the casual way. You can also say “sakin wa dou” but “wa” can get dropped. Casual is all about dropping words.
7. 気分はどうですか? How do you feel?Kibun means mood or feeling. So this question literally asks how your mood or feelings are. This is more about health and well-being (physical or emotional), rather than just asking “how are things?”
8. 気分どう?And more casually…
9. 調子はどうですか? How’s it going?Choushi means condition. You can only ask this when there’s implied context or some understood situation. For example, if your friend is sick… and you ask him that, you’re referring to his sickness. If your friend is busy at work, this means you want to know about things going on with his work situation.
10. 調子はどう?And more casually…
11. どうしたんですか?What’s wrong?Another good way to say how are you in Japanese. And yes, this should be used in negative situations when you think something is wrong.
12. どうしたの？And more casually (you can even drop the “no”).
13. 何事だ？What’s goin’ on?Super casual. When you just want to find out what things have been going on.
14. 今なにしてるの？What are you up to right now?Very common question among friends. Although it’s not an obvious “how are you,” it’s another variation of find out what’s going on with your friend.
15. 私はただあなたの本当の気持ちが知りたいだけだよ。All I want is to know how you really feel.Now this is a pretty serious way to ask “how are you.” Most people aren’t direct. Ask them directly how they feel. But this is too direct of a phrase for Japanese natives to use, so keep that in mind.
16. How have you been? (Long time no see!)Technically, hisashiburi means “long time no see.” However, it can be interpreted as “how’ve you been?” Use it when you haven’t seen someone in a while!
17. 心の声を聞かせて。Tell me how you really feel.If translated literally, it’s “tell me your heart’s voice.” However, you should know that you can’t be literally translating stuff – you’re not capturing the intended meaning. 18. なんか面白いことあった？Anything interesting?This is super casual. It’s like asking “what’s the good news” or “anything good happen lately? It’s a way to dig for positive news in Japanese.
19. 最近なにしていますか? How are things going recently? What are you doing recently?Here, you’re simply asking what they’ve been doing (shite-imasu) recently (saikin). Just another variation of things you’ve learned before.
20. 元気かい? Hey, whats up? How are ya?This is super colloquial and casual. You’ll see “kai” which is the colloquial for “desu ka.” Do NOT use it this outside of friends.
21. どうだい?How’s things? How’s it going?Again, super casual and worthy of it’s own entry. You know “dou” but “dai?” “Dai” is a colloquial version for “dayo.” Again, don’t use this outside of your friends.
22. 最近なんか変わったことある?Anything change/anything new recently?Here, you’re asking if there’s any thing (koto) that has been changed (kawatta).

How are you in Japanese anime?“How are you?” in Japanese – お元気ですか (O-genki desu ka) You can greet someone with “How are you” by saying お元気ですか. The “o” here is to show respect, and “ka” is the question particle. You can drop the “o” to make it informal and to reply, you could say Genki desu.
