[quote=DESTRUCKDOZ,294058]Hey whats up, Its been a while, hope everyone is well. So I had this question that has been lingering in my mind for at least 9 months now. I am Chinese, I look Chinese but my Cantonese doesn't go father than asking for soy sauce and simple greetings to people I don't know like uncle, aunt and sir. There is this greeting that some have used with me which is "Ne Hao". Some people have told me that it means "Hi" but wouldn't "Ne Hao" translate into "how are...."? Because if I were to ask how someone was doing I would say "Ne Hao Ma?"?? what would be the correct response to this? are they really asking me how I am doing if they say "Ne Hao"? sort of like how I would say "What up"? here in the states. Thanks Danny[/quote]
