Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

It means, 'how are you?', or in literal translation- 'how goes it with you?'. A typical response to this would be 'es gehts mir gut', which means, 'i'm good', or 'it goes well with me'. You could also replace 'gut' with 'schlect' or 'nicht so gut' for 'bad' or 'not so good'. Hope this helps!

Answer 2
