Arabic Greeting: "كيف الحال؟"
"كيف الحال؟" (Kayf al-haal?) is a widely used Arabic greeting that literally means "How is the condition?" The exact wording varies a bit by dialect, but this form is understood almost everywhere as a casual way to ask. A typical reply is "الحمد لله، بخير" (Thank God, I'm fine).
