What is how are you in afrikaan?

"How are you?" directly translated to afrikaans is "Hoe is jy?", but that is NOT the correct way to greet someone in afrikaans (I just give you the 'direct translation' for your reference), the correct way to greet someone with "How are you?" is "Hoe gaan dit?" which directly translated means "How goes it?" So just use "Hoe gaan dit?" The response you will usually get from the person you are talking to is "Goed en met jou?" which means "Good and with you?" in english.
