How do we call in Arabic language how are you?

The Arabic phrase for "how are you" depends on the context and the level of formality. Here are a few options:

Formal:

* كيف حالك؟ (Kayfa haluk?) - This is the most formal way to ask how someone is doing, used for strangers or people you respect greatly.

* كيف حالكم؟ (Kayfa halukum?) - This is the plural form used for addressing more than one person.

Informal:

* كيف حالك؟ (Kayfa haluk?) - The same phrase can be used informally, depending on your relationship with the person.

* شو اخبارك؟ (Shu akhbārak?) - This is a more casual and friendly way to ask, roughly translating to "What's new with you?"

* إيش اخبارك؟ (Eish akhbārak?) - This is another informal variation of the previous phrase, common in some Arabic dialects.

For a woman:

* كيف حالك؟ (Kayfa haluk?) - The same phrase is used, but pronounced with a different ending.

For a group of people:

* كيف حالكم؟ (Kayfa halukum?) - The plural form is used.

The best choice will depend on your relationship with the person you are speaking to.

Bonus:

* بخير (Bikhāyr) - This means "I'm fine" and is the common response to "how are you?"
