Greeting come back?

Question

I greeted one of our employees with ¿Cómo andas? and his response was "Bien,¿y tú?" I wanted to respond "so far, so good." but did not know how to form the spanish, aúydame, por favor.

"Cómo" "Spanish" and "ayúdame." - --Mariana--, Apr 28, 2011

Answer 1

I heard this in Mexico: Todo bien hasta ahora.

Gracias Luzbonita, I tried this on a few other spanish speakers and they knew what I said. - foxluv, Apr 28, 2011

Answer 2

Hi. I found these in the dictionary:

so far -> hasta el momento

so far so good -> todo bien de momento

Let's wait and see what others have to say.

Answer 3

I've always wondered what's the accepted way to say, "Welcome back"... good question foxluv. Does anybody know?

jajaja, very funny, takes me awhile. I should have put "a come back" in parentheses. - foxluv, Apr 28, 2011

Hola carnal, you say bienvenido "de nuevo".:) - Deanski, Apr 28, 2011

Answer 4

I see a couple of suggestions like "hasta ahora". Since this literally means "until now", wouldn't it possibly sound wrong here? I mean, if I asked somebody "How's it going?", and they said, "Fine, until now..." - I would think that I caused them to stop feeling fine ....

Pesta...would you believe I actually found it in our phrasebook? Hasta ahora, todo bien. - foxluv, May 4, 2011

Answer 5

I found "hasta aquí muy bien." In a literal translation to English, it might leave the impression that I was doing just fine till you appeared, but I think it's a correct Spanish phrase.

Answer 6

I went to Maria, one of our more expert spanish speaking employees and she did not really understand the English so I had to give her a few examples of what I was truly trying to say and she came back with, "Por ahora estoy muy bien, no sé despues."

What do you all think of this?
