意思
Asking about the general situation.
文化背景
In Pakistan, asking 'Sab theek hai?' is often followed by 'Allah ka shukr' (Thanks to God). It is considered polite to ask about the family (Ghar baar) even if you don't know them well. In cities like Lucknow or Hyderabad, the phrase might be used with more formal vocabulary like 'Mizaj shareef?' (How is your noble mood?), but 'Sab theek hai?' remains the common tongue. On WhatsApp, 'Sab theek?' is a very common way to re-engage a friend you haven't spoken to in a few days. It's low-pressure and friendly. In South Asian offices, managers often use this phrase to check on employees' stress levels without being too direct about performance.
The Power of the Nod
When asking 'Sab theek hai?', a small tilt of the head or a nod makes you sound much more like a native speaker.
Don't Overuse 'Kya'
While 'Kya sab theek hai?' is correct, saying it every time sounds a bit like a textbook. Just use the intonation!

The 'Bas' Response
If someone answers 'Bas, theek hai...', they usually mean things are just okay. This is your cue to ask 'Kyun, kya hua?' (Why, what happened?).
Religious Context
Expect 'Alhamdulillah' or 'Allah ka shukr' as an answer. It's the most common response in Pakistan.
