Right now, I do not have any questions about expressing English words in Japanese. However, I will say that this thread of yours has moved me from the ranks of longtime "forum lurker" (that is, a person who reads posts but does not register or contribute). I am thankful for that.
Arigatou!

Arigatou to YOU, Koir san.

Hope you have some question about Japan/Japanese next time!


May I ask you another question?


I don't know if you are from the north America,
but if you are, I have a question about Amerinan and Canadian English.


When I was in Australia, people say

" Hi, Mayumi! How are you going?"
(and I would say "good!")

but in the American drama "Friends" (which I have been learning English from, since I came back from Australia),

They go like

"How are you doing?" very often.


So I just wonder what kind of situation, you guys(North Amerinans)
would say "How are you going?"

Do you say "How are you going?" as kind of a greeting too?

And the other day I read some American magazine
and found this,
"How ya doing?" it means "How (are) you doing?" ?
