How You Doin?

  In Finland, if you ask “miten menee” (how is it going) you’ll either get to hear someone’s life story, or a single word reply “menee” (it’s going).

  Or, if someone is having a genuinely good day, you might get a few sentences explaining why things are looking up.

  Hence, most people will go with literally neutral statements. An example, my go-to farewell is “päivänjatkoa” which is literally just “may the day continue”.

    I’ve heard a lot of “it is what it is” in my time in Finland. I am probably returning soon for wappu/vappu.

  This is a very common dialect thing. Like in the UK, especially the North east “you alright?” Or just “alright?” is just a simple greeting that is often also just repeated in response.

    Same thing here in Texas “How you doin?” “Doin alright how bout yourself?”

    Then yall just pass by each other and keep walking.

    Never thought about it until now but it is kinda funny to just leave a random question hanging in the air that both people know ain’t getting answered lol.

      Oh yeah, we do the “How bout yourself” too sometimes, now that I think about it. And occasionally you’ll get a “Doin alright” but it’s all pretty standard stuff.

  In Australia “Hows it going?” Or more accurately “Howzitgarn?”

    UK London and east is, ‘y’aight’, which is you all right? Shortened to one syllable.

      In Maryland we just eyeball the other person and both say Aight at the same time to make sure the passer by isnt about to try something slick
