The first is like "how are you feeling," and the second is like "how's it going."
I was taught VERY clearly that ты was NEVER to be used except within a close friendship circle. Even not to be used in a family group if speaking to elders. Has this convention of courtesy and respect gone by the wayside like so much else in language???

Hi eveyone hope all is well, from the above conversation there is no clear difference so far identified, can someone simply say why we use Как Дела and Как Ты. Or when it sis good to use either of them. Because both are used but we don't know the difference. Thanks

No, for the Latin transliteration, you know, for those who find it too laborious to switch to the Russian keyboard all the time

Could anybody tell me what the difference between "Как ты" and "Как вы" is?

Taken from a different thread: '"ты" is singular informal "you". "вы" is singular formal "you" and also plural "you".'
Sounds like you would say Как ты to a friend, and Как вы to your boss or a group of people.

This would sound like "how are things you" or "how are things she". You have to use "у тебя", "у неё", "у меня", etc. Как у тебя дела? Как у неё дела?

Why is there "ты" and not "тебя", if the pronoun is preceded by a supposed "are"? It shouldn't be accusative?
Could you say how is everything "как все"? Or is that grammatically incorrect
