Germans expect a reply because for the german speaker, asking “wie geht es ihnen?” isn’t the same as a casual hello but rather is a.

Wie geht es dir response. A) mir geht es schlecht. “wie geht’s” is actually the short form of “wie geht es” (how’s it going) or “wie geht es dir/ihnen ” (how are you doing). (good, thanks) if you wanted to ask the other person how they are, simply add, ‘und dir?’ (‘and you?’) onto the end of your.

Another option is to give more detail about how you’re doing by. In the expression wie geht es (or wie geht’s ), the verb gehen is used in an impersonal way. To me it seems like wie geht es du/dir is more like what's up but i cant' tell if wie geht es ihnen is specifically asking how are you physically (cold, sick, hot, etc.) or just a more formal.

'du' und 'dir' means 'you' but it depends on the verb and case which one will be used. C) mir geht es so lala. This means exactly the same as.

You need to know which. When and where to use “wie geht’s”. B) mir geht es gut.

In german, however, a reply is customary. This means is does not agree with the alleged. German has both a formal and informal way of addressing people.
