                              What is the difference between mah neeshma and mah shalomcha? Don't they both mean "How are you"?

                              (neeshma) נשמע = sounds / sounded / sound => What is heard? = How have things been?

                              (shalomcha /shlomkhá ) שלומך = related to peace => How is your peace? = How are you feeling?

                                I believe that both have been translated by Duolingo as "How are you?", but I now understand the difference. Thank you. Could the English equivalent of ma neeshma, then, be similar to "what's new?"

                                Yes. I've seen that, either in the official tips, or in someone else's comment.

                                "What's new" is also used. It is "מה חדש?"
