  • Hey, everyone, how's it going?

  • As Aaron, the language nerd here, I hope you are doing very, very well.

  • Welcome to another episode of Super Easy English.

  • As you can see today, I am not in Taiwan anymore.

  • Today I am in I am in France.

  • As you can tell, Bye bye, This flag.

  • I am in France for two days before I return to Canada.

  • In today's video, I want to continue talking about greetings that we use in English.

  • This is the second video that I have made about greetings in English.

  • If you have not seen the first video, I will put a link at the top of the screen and a link in the video description below, so that you can watch the first part as well.

  • In the video today, I'm going to read some of the questions that you asked in the comments of the of the first video about English readings, and I'm going to answer some of the some of the common questions that you asked.

  • Without aside, um, let's start.

  • One question that somebody asked last time is Is it common to also use the expression?

  • What's up?

  • Yes, what's up is a common greeting that we use in Canada.

  • What's up is the same as saying, How are you or it's the same assaying.

  • How's it going?

  • There's a small difference with the expression.

  • What's up?

  • What's up is very casual.

  • In fact, what's up is more casual than how's how's it going.

  • Some people will also use sup like S.

  • U P Sub is also something that we say, but it is even more casual than what's up Me.

  • Personally, I don't use what's up, and I don't use up very often.

  • They just feel for me anyway.

  • They feel a little bit too casual, and I don't feel comfortable.

  • Me personally.

  • I don't feel comfortable using them.

  • Another question somebody asked is.

  • Can we use the expression Something new?

  • No.

  • Using the expression, something new is a little bit.

  • It doesn't sound very good, but you can say what's new.

  • What's new is basically asking someone.

  • How are you?

  • What is new in your life?

  • What is happening in your life now that I don't know.

  • So this is a common expression that that some people use.

  • Another question somebody asked is as Rin is it possible to say, How do you do?

  • In a formal situation, you can use the expression, How do you do?

  • But in Canada, it is not common.

  • Nobody or very few people used the expression.

  • How do you do?

  • Another person made the comment that how are you doing?

  • Is another very common English treating?

  • Yes, this is true.

  • How are you doing?

  • Is something we say very frequently.

  • It is the same meaning as How are you or how's it going?

  • It is the same.

  • How are you doing is how are you doing is not necessarily very formal.

  • It's not very informal and something we can use in all or most social situations.

  • There were many comments in the last video from people who are in other countries.

  • So, for example, one person said, in northern England, they say, You all right?

  • Obviously, with a British accent, I don't have a British accent, somebody else said.

  • In the southern and the southern states of the USA of America, Um, quite a few people will say how you doing or how you all doing and it's like saying, How are you or how's it going at the same meeting?

  • Yes, it's important to realize that different countries and different states, different regions, different polices have different ways to say hi and hello.

  • And hey, there's many different greetings, depending on where you are.

  • And that is something that I feel is important Too important to realize.

  • Well, everyone, thank you for watching today's video.

  • I appreciate I appreciate your attention and, um, we will talk.

  • We'll talk next time.

  • Bye for now.

  • See you.

Hey, everyone, how's it going?
