Meeting the in laws again (Advanced): Health and well-being

💬 After words like [schön], German often uses an [zu]-verb: [Schön, euch wiederzusehen.] You can reuse that pattern with other verbs, like [Schön, dich kennenzulernen].

💬 [Wiederzusehen] comes from the separable verb [wiedersehen]. With [zu], the [zu] goes between the two parts: [wiederzusehen].

💬 [Euch] is the plural informal [you], used when speaking to more than one person. The same pattern changes with the person: [Wie geht es dir?] for one person, [Wie geht es euch?] for several.

💬 In [Wie geht es euch heute?], [euch] shows you're asking more than one person informally. Swap it for [dir] for one person: [Wie geht es dir heute?].

💬 German often says [Uns geht es gut] where English uses [we]. The person can show up as [mir], [dir], [uns] and so on: [Mir geht es gut], [Uns geht es gut].

🇩🇪 [Danke] is fine here after answering about your health. But when something is offered, [danke] alone can sound like you're declining; say [ja, bitte] if you want it.

💬 German often answers [How are you?] with [Mir geht es gut] or [Uns geht es gut] rather than using [ich bin] or [wir sind]. It's a very common pattern for talking about how someone is doing.
