How are you cookies

In Swedish, there are several ways of asking how are you. The most common one is hur är läget?

Hur är läget — How are you doing?

We usually shorten this one to a simple läget. It is totally ok to ask your colleague hur är läget or even läget works just fine.

Hur mår du? — How are you doing?

Hur mĂĄr du is a bit more personal. You are actually asking what are your feelings, does anything bothers you. You would ask this one someone who is closer to you.

A rather informal one is vad görs. You would say this one to your friend or a colleague.

Vad görs? — What’s up?

If you would like to go formal on this one you would use hur stĂĄr det till? You would use this one on a job interview or when speaking on the phone with a business partner.
