How do you say hello how are in kenyan?

Here's how to say "hello, how are you" in Kenyan, depending on the specific language and context:

Kiswahili:

* Formal: "Habari za asubuhi/mchana/jioni? (Good morning/afternoon/evening? How are you?)" followed by "Nimefurahi kukuona. (I am happy to see you.)"

* Informal: "Jambo? (Hello?)" followed by "Uko vipi? (How are you?)"

Other Kenyan Languages:

* Kikuyu: "Mwarimu? (Hello) " followed by "Ũrĩa ũrĩa? (How are you?)"

* Luo: "Jambo! (Hello!)" followed by "Onyiso e o? (How are you?)"

* Luhya: "Yimbo! (Hello!)" followed by "Vihwe vihi? (How are you?)"

Important Notes:

* Region Matters: Kenya has many languages, and specific greetings vary by region. The examples above are common, but regional variations exist.

* Context is Key: The level of formality depends on the situation and your relationship with the person you are greeting.

It's always a good idea to learn some basic phrases in the local language, even if it's just "hello" and "how are you." It shows respect and can help you connect with people.
