Nepali is spoken in Nepal, a country sandwiched between India and China. It isn't a widely spoken language, however, knowing the basics is a great help, if you ever travel to Nepal, or know someone from there. Here's how to ask someone how they are or how they're doing, in Nepali.
Steps
Use ""तपाइलाई कस्तो छ?" for formal settings. This is pronounced "tapai-lai kas-to chuh."
Replace "तपाइलाई कस्तो छ" with "तपाइ कसरी हो", (pronounced tapai kas-ree ho) as an alternative. Keep in mind that it isn't used too often.
Know that the only difference between the informal and the formal way of saying this is the replacement of "तिमि" with "तपाई". Both, however, mean "you".
To reply to "how are you?" in Nepali, say "मलाइ सन्चै छ" which is pronounced as "ma-laai san-che chuh" and means "I'm doing well."
Use a simpler alternative if desired. Try "म ठिक छु" which means "I'm fine." It is pronounced as "ma tick choo".
Ask someone back. To do this, just say "तिम्रो के छ?" pronounced "tim-ro kay-chuh".
