Signification
Casual greeting.
Contexte culturel
Dutch people value directness. This greeting is efficient and avoids unnecessary fluff. Similar to the Netherlands, but sometimes slightly more reserved in initial contact. Used by expats and students to sound more natural and integrated. Younger generations might shorten it even further to 'Alles goed?'.
Smile!
This phrase is much more effective when said with a smile.
Keep it brief
Don't expect a long answer; it's a greeting, not a therapy session.
