Friends, hello!

Today I would like to tell you about the meaning of the English phrase "How do you do you?"! Many of you are confident that this is another option to ask "How are you?" in English. In reality, it is incurred, and if you say the native speaker "Hi! How do you do? "hoping to hear in response «I'm Fine»This can be stumbled upon a certain proportion of misunderstanding on his part.

Translation and use "How do you do?"

IN english language This expression can be used correctly when you first meet a person and get acquainted with him. In other words, this formal version is politely greedy by the person with whom you have not met earlier or simply have not seen it for a long time.

For example:

Hi, I'm Chack!

(Hi, I chuck!)

How do you do, chack? I'm John!

(How are you, Chuck? I'm John!)

HOW DO YOU DO? "does not imply a direct response and is often used with exclamation - "How Do You Do!".Please do not confuse this expression with the question "How Are You You?". This is not the same thing.

In real life, an informal situation prevails. Therefore, we usually welcome other people short

• Hey!
• Hello!

And then we demonstrate interest and location (even if it is intake) one of the following phrases:

• How Is it Going? \u003d Well, how are you? (Literally: "How is she (life) go?")
• How Are you doing? \u003d How are you?
• How "s Life? \u003d How is life?

From how we pronounce these phrases, the subtext changes. I speak everything clearly and nele - it means that "hold the distance". And if "swallowing the end of words" and tarators, then vice versa. So we show that we want to be "on the short leg":

• How Ya Doin "? \u003d Well, how is it?

Here are You. Simplified before ya. [I], and turned into a normal sound [H].

By the way, this phrase can use us for dating. All who watched the series "Friends" (Oh, Those 90s!), Remember Joey "S Famous Pickup Line (Crown phrase Joey for familiarizing with girls).

Joey is a fair cobeller. That's how he is "Cadre" Maiden:

"What i do is, I Look A Woman Up and Down and I Say: Hey You. Doin '? "
= "I do this: I measured her with a look from the legs to the head, and then I say: hey! Well, how are you?"

Joe - Italian roots than he uses to impress girls.

The characteristic "focus of mafiosi" is rude, and the language is simplified, some words are skipped, and sounds are not pronounced (from here and writing doin "instead of doing). In other words, Joe includes the image" cool ".

Usually in this phrase, the emphasis falls on the last word (doing). He highlights the word You.That gives the phrase a special meaning (they say, my attention is just you).

Of course, we did not exhaust all the topic of greetings. There are still a lot of cool phrases. And what is important is the mass of ways to answer.

If you are interested in something to know about it, celebrate in the comments.

Your Q'S, My A's

Asked - answer

• "Is it appropriate to finish a letter by phrase with best regards and then signature?" (Koolbasov)

Sure! ("Yes, of course," pronunciation here). By stylistry "With Best Regards" corresponds to our phrase "Best Wishes".

• "Please light apologies. How to apologize to formally and informally and how to answer apologies. Thank you!" (Marinap.cor)

ABOUT! This is a big topic! It will be a separate issue.

• "After the phrase" DEAR YURI "you need to put a comma or not?" (MAREEV84)

Not necessary. Let's just say - this is an indicator of very formal relationships (or you are Grammar Nazi, that is, you have a fool on the topic of grammar). In ordinary life, you can do well without commas, and this is normal. What to do exactly not worth it, so it is to put an exclamation mark. English-speaking will perceive it as a "hitting", unnecessary drama.

• (Honeyol writes about his friend from South Africa): "And at the end of the letter, he puts XXX, and not Xoxo, and always with a capital letter." What does it mean?

See. One letter "ex" ( X.) Means "Kiss". Your friend will send you three kisses :-) Naturally, they can be as much as you like: XX or Xxxxx So prefer to finish letters to friends British and representatives of similar crops, such as residents of Australia or South Africa. Americans are more often written Xo., xo., Xoxo. or xoxoxo., that is, an American one would still hug you. ("Hugs and Kisses"). Farewell is purely informal, in itself - some kind of liberty, so found different methods writing.

• "And I sometimes saw: Love, and on the next line signature." What does it say? (A.Mantsurova)

Man is good for you, that's all. Like a friend. This is definitely not recognition in love! And just "stroking" at a distance, well, it seems like you smiled. Sometimes they write so (I quote from the letter, which I myself received the other day):

All My Love, Xo. Marie.

Tinagers (girls, of course, do not guys) can screw down at the end:
