An informal way to ask someone how they are doing in return.
خلفية ثقافية
The transition from 'Et vous ?' to 'Et toi ?' (tutoiement) is a significant social milestone in a relationship. In Quebec, 'tu' and 'toi' are used much more quickly and frequently than in France, even in some service settings. Respect for elders is paramount; using 'Et toi ?' with an older person would be considered very rude.

The 'Vous' Trap
When in doubt, use 'Et vous ?'. It's better to be too formal than too rude.
