how ya going
greeting · casual
How are you? A friendly greeting.
How Aussies use it
- G'day, how ya going?
- How ya going, mate? Good weekend?
Good to know
Australians often reply 'Good thanks, how are you?' You don't need to give a long answer.
Saying it more formally
In a formal email, essay or the PTE test, use how are you? instead.
Slang is great for chatting with friends and workmates, but keep it out of PTE essays and formal writing.
