意思
Formal way to ask how things are going.
文化背景
Slovenians value 'vikanje' as a sign of respect. Using 'Kako vam gre?' with a stranger is not just polite; it's expected. Jumping to 'tikanje' (informal) too early can be seen as rude or uneducated. In many Slovenian companies, the transition from 'Kako vam gre?' to 'Kako ti gre?' is a significant milestone. It usually happens when the older or more senior person suggests: 'Ali se lahko tikava?' (Can we use the informal 'ti'?). In villages, 'vikanje' is strictly maintained when speaking to anyone older, even if they are neighbors you see every day. It preserves a traditional social harmony. When you ask 'Kako vam gre?', don't be surprised if the answer is a simple 'Gre' (It goes). Slovenians often avoid boasting about how well things are going to avoid 'jinxing' it or appearing arrogant.
The 'Vam' Rule
Always use 'vam' if you are unsure. It is better to be too formal than too informal in Slovenia.
Avoid 'Vas'
Never say 'Kako vas gre?'. It sounds like you are asking 'How are you being walked?', which makes no sense.

The 'Gre' Response
If someone answers with just 'Gre', they aren't being rude. They are just being typically Slovenian and modest.
