Es tiempo de ser mas formales en el saludo. \xbfC\xf3mo te ha ido? \xbfHow have you been? 

Introducci\xf3n: Bienvenidos amigos  a  un nuevo episodio de  nuestro podcast  \u201cAmigos  learning languages\u201d. En este episodio aprenderemos saludos un poco m\xe1s formales tanto en ingl\xe9s como en espa\xf1ol. We will talkwith our Friends John, Marty and Isai. Iniciemos\u2026

Joffre: How have you been and it is a little more formal. What do you think?

John: I think that if it follows maybe something else anothergreeting \u201chow \u2018ve you been?\u201d. Then it\u2019s welcoming somebody to tell how your family is. How work is being. How\u2019ve you been that\u2019s a little bit more I think asking for more detail about how things have been going

Joffre: Exactly. And switchingto Spanish: Es lo mismo en espa\xf1ol Isai. Si alguien nos dice \u201ccomo has estado\u201d o \u201ccomo te ha ido\u201d, se siente que hay un mayor inter\xe9s en esa persona en saber en realidad como estas. Porque \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d o \u201c\xbfQue hubo?\u201d o \u201c\xbfQuiubo?\u201d o \u201cQue m\xe1s\u201d es algo superficial, algo r\xe1pido. Pero \u201c\xbfC\xf3mo has estado?\u201d o \u201c\xbfC\xf3mo te ha ido?\u201d es m\xe1s\u2026 la persona se interesa m\xe1s en ti. \xbfQu\xe9 opinas Isai?

Isai: Si. Es correcto. Cuando escuch\xf3 esta\u2026 si alguien me preguntar\xe1 \u201c\xbfC\xf3mo has estado?\u201d. Entender\xeda que esa persona est\xe1 realmente interesada en saber c\xf3mo fue mi d\xeda o qu\xe9 hay de nuevo conmigo o qu\xe9 pasa con mi familia, como dijo John, con mi trabajo. Se interpreta que hay un inter\xe9s detr\xe1s de esa pregunta. A diferencia de las que ya hablamos anteriormente. Algo como dice Joffre, algo m\xe1s superficial que quiz\xe1s es un mero formalismo.

Joffre: Correcto y lo interesante de esta pregunta que utiliza en ingl\xe9s \u201chave\u201d y en espa\xf1ol \u201cha\u201d porque es \u201cc\xf3mo te ha ido\u201d \u201cHow have you been\u201d. Entonces la respuesta en espa\xf1ol ser\xeda \u201cme ha ido bien\u201d o \u201cno ha pasado nada\u201d.

Isai: Si. La respuesta correcta ser\xeda esa: \u201cme ha ido bien\u201d. Pero quiz\xe1s podemos jugar un poco con la respuesta y puedes ir directamente a lo que te ha sucedido \xfaltimamente., Si alguien dice \u201cc\xf3mo has estado\u201d podr\xeda decir \u201cbien, sigo trabajando igual que siempre\u201d quiz\xe1s, o \u201cSigo de vacaciones\u201d o \u201cEstoy visitando a mi familia, a mis amigos\u201d.

Joffre: And switchingto English. Marty What do you think is the best option to answer \u201cHow have you been?\u201d?

Marty: I will normally answer that. \u201cI\u2019ve been fine\u201d. You can have certain number of different ways depending on what your circumstances are. You could say. \u201cI\u2019ve been very busy lately.\u201d \u201cI\u2019ve been doing a lot of interesting things.\u201d But there are number of ways that you could answer a question like that. You can go into more detail if you feel that the person is somebody that you want to share more intimate types of your experiences as with.

Joffre: Exactlyand you will use \u201chave\u201d there like: \u201cI have been doingwell\u201d or \u201cI have been doing something\u201d

Marty: exactly.

Isai: So Marty. Ihave a question. So can we answer these question by saying\u201cI\u2019mall right\u201d instead of \u201cI have been okay\u201d, or\u2026

Marty: Yeah, you could say that you could say \u201cI\u2019mall right.\u201d \u201cI\u2019mdoing well.\u201d You could tell them about you know, how you been feeling or you can answer to number of different ways but that would be correct as well, what you said.

Joffre: what do you think John what is the best way to answer that question? How have you been?

John: I thinkit sounds best is somehow say \u201cIhave been\u201d to speak somehow in past tense, because I think that\u2019s kind of getting you up to speed with maybe since the last time you saw themor how things in general have been for you. So I think it sounds most natural in my thinking to say something about \u201cI\u2019ve been doing well\u201d, \u201cit\u2019s been busy\u201d something referringsince it was asked in a past tense form to respond in the past tense form.
