Used all the time in Australia? I didn't realise it was only here? and Aller is "to go" so I don't understand why this is not allowed?

What's wrong with "How are you going?"

I get tripped up by this all the time. In Australia, we use "going" instead of "doing" (which is the north american preferred phrase). Given that "going" is the direct translation of the French, it should certainly be accepted by DuoLingo. I also translate all the similar phrases similarly, such as "Comment va-t-il?" to "How is he going?".

i translated it to "hi, how are you" and "hi" was counted wrong. Don't "hello" and "hi" mean the same thing?

I am not Australian but I still think my answer should be accepted by Duolingo

I'm glad I'm not the only Australian who had a problem with this XD

Thanks. Didn't realise it was colloquial Australian English. http://www.immi.gov.au/living-in-australia/choose-australia/about-australia/au-customs/common-words.htm

Porqoi non ''comment cava?''

WHY IS HI NOT ALLOWED FOR HELLO???

Another Australian who gets caught out all the time on going/doing. Grrr!

it said i got it wrong when i got it wright

I don't understand the connection between aller (go) with how are you? Why translates of that way?

if you hover over one of the words it says "are going" i put it and got it wrong

it showed to go when i clicked in allez and then it marked me wrong

I put Hi instead of Hello and it said i used the wrong word

it said i was wrong when i said "hi, how are you doing?" This should be fixed.

"how are you going" should definitely be allowed as a) legitimate English (common in Australia) and b) literally what is being asked

I was told people dont actually say this in France and one should rather say comment ça va

Anyone on this thread from Duolingo to anwer concerns? This is most likely an idiom that means " How are you?" Or "How is it going (for you)?" We use the verb aller in Spanish in a similar way to ask how someone is doing.

"How are you going" is very common these days in the UK

Commant or KUmmann?
