Do not say "kakdila" in Russian. We Russian speakers just don't use it anymore. It's just lame. Boring. Ah, just kidding. We totally use it. It's still the most common and totally correct way to ask how are you in Russian. So is my thumbnail just a clickbait then? Totally. I mean, I need the views. But I am going to teach you three very common alternatives to "kakdila". Which will definitely help you sound more native. Number one. "Kakzhizen". Literally. How's life? Super common. I honestly use it all the time myself. Number two. "Kaksam". Or if you're asking a girl, "Kaksam" literally "How's yourself?" And I guess technically it's more correct to use it as a counter question. Like if somebody asks you "Kakdila", you say "Harasho" and then "Kaksam". How about yourself? But honestly, it's pretty common to just ask it straight. "Privet". "Kaksam". And number three. "Kakano". Literally. How is it? This one's pretty informal, but I've heard it used many times. "Nucho". "Kakano". So, how's it going? Which one did you like best? in the comments.
