Hey how are you?

Question

Hey how are you?

Welcome to SpanishDict. This forum is for learning a language. Please be specific about what you want here. A translation perhaps? - rac1, Nov 7, 2015

Answer 1

When I was a kid, ¡Hey! meant something like ¡Oye! and I was told it was a little rude. Now, appearently, it means ¡Hello! I wonder when the meaning changed.

Frankly, we spell it ' hi' in England and it is not regarded as a well educated start to a conversation. In Swedish: Hej ! is univeral, of course. - annierats, Nov 7, 2015

Annie, you´re right "Hi" - 005faa61, Nov 7, 2015

I disagree! "Hi" is used only as a greeting. "Hey" is used that way too, but is used primarily to attract attention or express surprise, appreciation, annoyance... - jtaniel, Nov 7, 2015

Answer 2

Hello sonic,

Welcome to the SpanishDict forum

I am very well thanks...

but what is your actual question? How do you want us to help you?

People post questions asking for help in this Question and Answer section, regarding some aspect of learning the Spanish or English languages which they are struggling to understand!

We have a separate thread for chatting and general comments I would post a link to it but I have forgotten what the thread is called.

I hope that some kind person, perhaps even a moderator, will add a link to my post here.....

.......which you can follow to the conversation area. It may be called Encouragement isle (island or Coffee and Chat

I hope this helps

I will be looking forward to seeing that link. You know I love to chat. - Daniela2041, Nov 7, 2015
