What is the Cajun translation for How it going?

There isn't a direct, literal translation for "How's it going?" in Cajun French. However, here are some common phrases that convey a similar meaning and are used in a casual, friendly setting:

Formal:

* "Comment ça va?" (pronounced "co-moh sah vah") - This is the standard French way of saying "How are you?"

Informal:

* "Ca va?" (pronounced "cah vah") - This is a more casual version of "Comment ça va?"

* "Comment tu vas?" (pronounced "co-moh too vah") - This is another way of saying "How are you?" but more personal.

* "Tout va bien?" (pronounced "too vah bee-ahn") - This literally means "Everything is going well?"

* "Qui est-ce?" (pronounced "kee eh-seh") - This literally means "What is it?" but in a casual context, it's used like "What's up?" or "What's going on?"

More casual:

* "Comment ça roule?" (pronounced "co-moh sah rool") - This means "How are things rolling?"

* "Comment ça marche?" (pronounced "co-moh sah marsh") - This means "How is it going?" in a more colloquial way.

* "C'est quoi?" (pronounced "seh kwah") - This is a very informal way of saying "What's up?" or "What's going on?"

Remember that the best phrase to use depends on the situation and your relationship with the person you are talking to.
