We will start off with greetings phrases that we hear all the time. First on the list is “how`s it going?”
The idiom how’s it going is another way to say how are you, how are things progressing, or what’s up. The it can refer to life in general, a project, or your day.
It should be noted that this idiom is said in many countries with the answer expected to be fine or good. This is not usually what a person says when he or she truly wants details of her life or day. Often this is said as a continuation of the greeting for example, Hi, how`s it going.
How are you (doing)?: Are you well? How are things? In informal language, you can also say How you doing? or How you doin’? I hope you’re doing well: I hope that you’re fine, well, good, in good health
