Hello Nairalanders
so yesterday i learnt that the correct response to "how do you do?" is "how do you do".
it made no sense to me because i thought the logical response would be "fine" or "good" or stuffs like that,that is why i have brought this to NL to clarify. So professors in the house,let us know which is the correct response to "How Do You Do?".
"fine" or "how do you do"
Nothing
Re: What Is The Right Response To "How Do You Do? by papaejima1: 8:09am On Aug 21, 2015
The Answer according to my secondary school teacher is "how do you do"

But, I have always done it my way except in formal settings. I always go "good" when I get the question.

Those days when men were boys we used to use it to know those who went to good and proper schools. grin

When we meet someone we will greet hello friend, how do you do?
If the guy says fine thank you, we shake our heads at him and adopt a superior air. If he responds, "and how do you do", then we know it's a match of equals.

Life! ! grin grin

That's the correct response but I usually go with "fine, how do you do too" sounds more sense making to me.

Question : How do you do?
Answer: I do, how do you do too

I got to know this way back in Lokoja, Kogi State during my NYSC. There was this radio phone in programme where gbadons were corrected.

I have heard it and have also responded with "how do you do". This seems to be a greeting that has largely fallen out of fashion and I've never heard of the explanation for replying with "how do you do" (it just happens and if you've heard it while growing up it just comes out in response automatically). This is an interesting question to pose though.
Nowadays, I usually answer that greeting with, "Well, thank you. How do you do?" because I don't want the other person feeling like I just totally disregarded their question to me.
