How are you ?

I would have never thought that the term fine would mean what you've said. However, I also know that I don't typically use that term when someone asks me how I am doing. Typically, I will tell people that I am doing good or doing okay. However, there are those times when things are not going so well in my life and in those cases I will let the person know what the things are that are bothering me because I really think that people that ask how you are doing care about what is going on in your life.

Hello, My day is great! My crush finally added me in facebook and he chatted me last day, I'm really happy since he's resigning in our company effective in july 15.. waaaaaa 12 days to go... I'm happy that I met him...

Well I'm just fine because nobody wants honest answers anyway. I used to tell not so good and their faces turned......!

I don't understand interpreting the word 'fine' (in response to "How are you?") as meaning 'freaked out, insecure, neurotic and emotional'. Where did you come up with that? When I am asked "How are you?", I generally respond with, "I am wonderful! How are you?" If not with 'wonderful', I use 'Doing well, thank you.' And, I will continue to be 'fine' until the actual meaning of the word is changed.

hi i am good!!:):):) so good of you that you put such info online !!!:):):) hats off to you for tat.... ppl wid time start using diff sorts of idiotic phrases n wat not jus to add the required crispiness or taste to their piece of documentation but wat they fail to understand is tat by cutting short most of the words to suit their piece of writing they are actually spoiling the true and beaiutiful nature of the language as such which is unforgivable !!!!!

Fine means ok... not good not bad... pretty good or great must be used........lolx

hi stylewaves Are you sure fine means those things? I had never seen that definition. I have seen fine to mean something slender rather than something coarse in she has fine hair,his is coarse. But I will change to say what I usually say,well I am breathing and walking, and not hurting so yees I am just great. that always gets people to smiling.

I think that the word "fine" is used a lot in the human vocabulary. The thing is, most of people who use the word "fine" don't mean it, and there might be something wrong with them. They just say that they're "fine" as it seems easier a lot of the time to tell people that they're alright rather than that they're actually not fine at all, as that would probably take a lot more explanation from the individual. We should think more into what we're saying, rather than just claiming that everything is okay all the time when it might actually not be.

haha, living and learning. Funny how we start to use some expressions with time. I receive some e-mails about that but couldn't find it to add some more here Anyway thx for the advise and to answer you question. I am fine, ops, good.

yes i dont understand who started that "fine" may be the persons had felt its good to answer in that way."I am good" may be it can be changed with the "fine" for answering a "how do u do ?" However i am not sure also with this good and bad.

I think you're taking the acronym a little too literally! But that's ok. I hardly use that word though, but I almost never use the word "okay." But if I'm in a really great mood, I just say "I'm fabulous! How are you?"

I am FINE hhaha thanks for askng how are you?

okay that was something that i was not aware of. Actually I am kind of confused with this post. I guess it is weird the different countries have different meanings
