How do you do then

How do you do.

the correct response is 'how do you too?'

oohhh I remember my English teacher when I was in jss 3 ....he beat d hell out of us in d class DAT DAT day ..wen he ask us the question DAT how do u do?all us kip saying fine one by one.....he later say if someone ask us how do u do? d response should be how do u do also?....

MrsPhyno:

Wow really? Isn't it just like the more polite version of 'what's up?' Meaning that a legitimate answer isn't expected, you're not supposed to actually say how you're doing just supposed to give a generic 'I'm fine'. So what do you find intrusive there if you don't mind me asking

I always feel like no one who is incapable of solving a situation has no reason to ask how you are doing with a situation. Sincerely, I always feel insulted when asked "How are you ?", I hate that question. I dont see it as a greeting, I see it as a probe. I hate being probed about my situations.

I did always go with " i am very well thank you" when asked how do u do?

You ask the asker HOW DO YOU DO. Both of you are eager to know each other as this is your first time of meeting. To know how each of you do. This is not a question to know how you are doing as per personaly. Its a question to know your psychology . So you should also nod anf ask the other person how do you do?

When I was in pry/school in the 90s,we used to joke over it. When the teacher asks,"how do you do? We will say,gbogbo wa la dudu ni Nigeria.

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"

The Right Response is

I DO DO FINE

Lol. So if they can't help you, you just want them to shut up is that?

How do you do is the best answer. I have leant that more than 15yrs ago. But have never for once respond how do you do with how do you do. Just doesnt make any sense to me. I will just say fine and you?

MrsPhyno:

Yes! Of what use is asking "How are you ?" and you see people in serious needs and problems retorting the usual response "fine"; Meanwhile, he or she is NOT far from being 'fine'. How are you ? should mean ...How is your situation, are you alright ? Can I be of help ?

The correct response is and how do you do

It's just a social pleasantry nah. People don't actually wanna know about each other's problems cause everyone's got their own. But it's still rude not to ask after people, so we all ask and we all pretend.
It's even more odd to actually start telling people how you're doing when they ask. That's just life my dear we can't change that

These ready-made question and answer greetings pattern is an archaic invention of our yesterday. I prefer greetings like "Good morning" "good afternoon" and "good evening" as well as "good night". But "How are you ?" my answer should be "none of your business", "How do you do?" My answer should be silence.

how do you do too.
or simply
How do you do.

This is my personal assistants response.

Growing up i was taught that the correct response was ''and how do you do too?''. I swallowed it line, hook and sinker. But now i am grown, i feel you respond back with any meaningful response you feel comfortable with.

How do you do?

I am doing fine

Person: How do u do?
Ngozi: Edum nga mu du



Abi u no knw??

mr A- How do you do?
mr B- How do you do?

mr B- are you okay?

missKiffy:

The right response is saying "How do you do" as well, it is not a question really, it's like someone saying "good morning" you also say "good morning" back in response. It's really not a question, though it sounds like one. It's a greeting.

flipflop:
The best reply to "how do you do?" Is "Very well, thank you"

"Very well thank you" flipflop. You made my day.

Guess it's, "How do you do too"
