Today I'm gonna tell you about phrases of greeting and two questions 'how are you?' and of course some answers :)

The first phrase you know in Chinese is... 你好 (nǐ hăo) - hello

你好 we can say to our friends, relatives or close people. But! When we want to show our respecr wi should use 您 (nín). It is a polite form of 你. So when we talk to older or unfamiliar people we use 您好. 

Now let's discuss about questions in Chinese. For building a question most of the cases we will use 吗 (ma).

你好吗？- how are you?

你最近怎么样？(nǐ zuì jìn zěnme yàng) - how are you doing? N.B.: we use this question to our close people or friends.

Answers:

我很好 (wǒ hěn hǎo) - I'm fine

我不错 (wǒ bù cuò) - I'm great

我不好 (wǒ bù hǎo) - I'm bad

我还可以 (wǒ huán kě yǐ) - So-so

Special for you! Bonus! -> 再见 (zàijiàn) - goodbye

Great! Now you know some basic phrases! You are doing great!
