Como andas

Question

como andas means

Answer 1

It is the same use in Spain, Lazarus was pointing out the importance of accents, as the meaning can change without accents.

Answer 2

How do you walk is the direct translation, but it means how you doing, how are you

Answer 3

My teacher uses: ¿Cómo marcha todo?
Andar.
Marchar.
Caminar

I disagree:

como andas = like you walk

¿Cómo andas? = How are things? / How are you doing?

Mi maestro, lazarus.

Is this just a Mexican slang or it is used in other countries including Spain?

Thank you,

Marco

People used it in Ecuador when I lived there. I assume it is widespread elsewhere in Latin America. - TheStatelessMan, Jun 19, 2016

Answer 5

Yes, in Spain we also say like in other countries:

¿Cómo anda todo?
¿Cómo marcha todo?

I've never heard about 'Caminar', but we often say:

¿Cómo va todo? (This is very usual)

Answer 6

To give an example of why Lazarus feels this is important, here is a part of the lyrics of a famous Mexican song.

Mira como ando mujer, por tu querer.

In this case, the word is como, not cómo as in your case, and the meaning is different.

Answer 7

I am sorry, I missed the set of question marks.
