In Shona, to say "How are you doing?" you use "Uri sei?" for informal situations. In more formal contexts or when addressing multiple people, "Makadii?" or "Makadini" is appropriate. Both phrases are standard greetings for inquiring about someone's well-being.
Examples:
- "Uri sei nhasi?" - "How are you today?"
- "Makadii mose?" - "How are you all?"
- "Munonzwa sei?" - "How do you feel?" (formal/plural)
- Makadii mese? (How are you all doing?) - Addressing a group
- Makadii, mudhara? (How are you doing, old man?) - Informal to an older man.
- Makadii, VaChibanda? (How are you doing, Mr. Chibanda?)
