By Miss Jen

Why people here always start the conversation with the famous " How are You?" and the answer always goes like
" im fine" and if in the mood " im fine thank you.." hahaha

it is a courtesy.

Just to break the ice at times.

English man will say "how is weather".

Chinese will say "taken your food ?"

it is ok .

Can also answer it differently like someone asks "How are you," you could say...

- better than you can imagine

- fine if you don't like sleeping

- want to find out?

... etc.

Well Azilana, if you do it... it should be done proper, not a half-ass *poke* *poke* *pffffffffft* and sleep. And the definition of 'couple of hours', can be, usually is, larger than 2.

Although sometimes, just a 'quick one' is not bad either.

Variation, very important.

Jen..

My reply was more to indicate that I deem this topic, and the questions asked, as one of the most redundant topics ever.

Maybe I am just a bit stupid and do not grasp the underlying thought.....enlighten me please.

Arabic people greet each other like this way and we just do it in the English version:

Arabic: Salam Alaykum; ke falik(to men)/falak(to ladies)?

English: Hello/Hi/Good Morning,etc. How are you?(whatever you wanna use for greetings)

Response usually goes like this:

Arabic: Zen/Damman, Alhamdulilah. Wa anta?

English: I'm good/fine (etc), Thanks to ALLAH/GOD! And how are you?

As you see, Qataris (also called "the locals") and other Arabic race are known for their courtesy and respect for others just like the rest of us. The only thing that creates issues/concerns is "LANGUAGE BARRIERS" which was discussed in the main forum time and time again.

Bottomline: COURTESY back to the people who DESERVES IT.

FU apparently you suffer from asking the right questions to the wrong people :P

So what exactly is WRONG with asking someone how they are doing? Its a very famous line by Joey from friends "How YOU doing?"
