What is the correct response to the question "How do you do"? Is it "how do you do" or "fine" or something else? Why? ANSWER WIKI “How do you do?” is usually a formal greeting used on the first occasion of meeting or introduction. It is often accompanied by shaking hands or nodding heads, sometimes even outright bowing. It is not meant as a question and an answer is not expected. The reply “How do you do?” is appropriate. http://www.quora.com/What-is-the-correct-response-to-the-question-How-do-you-do |

olafum1: Thats very wrong!! The correct reply is "How do u do?" But the intonation sounds like when you say "I do do" |
Re: What Is The Right Response To "How Do You Do? by paris10: 9:52am On Aug 21, 2015 |
How do you do tends to be derogatory and commanding if one is expecting to hear response like " I'm fine, thank you". In the corporate world, any compliment that tends to ask question, is often met with the same words used in asking such question. That balances the equation and doesn't put one above another. In other words, in a sane society like Nigeria, the " corporate mentality" doesn't exist. How are you? must be met with " I'm fine, thank you". Let us just say the white man really wanna confuse our language. They want us to ignore our culture which is lalastical to me. |
