"みなさん、おげんきですか？"

Translation: How is everyone?

[deactivated user]

Please say this loudly everytime you get on the bus or train in Japan.

[Brian365129]

Why restrict it to Japan?

[MattDailisan]

Haha!

[hectorlqr]

Why? Is it customary?

[zanzaboonda]

I think they are joking. When I was in Japan, it was extremely quiet. No one spoke on public transportation, not even friends.

[mkeays]

皆さん、お元気ですか?

[SeijiSuenaga]

Should "how are you all" be accepted?

[zanzaboonda]

That was what I thought, too.

[AdamKan2]

Also, should "how is everyone doing" ?

[TKOMak]

Same here, thought it means “how are you guys”

[LinguaNerd]

I think the "san" and the "o" make it more formal than that.

[Xxyzrzy]

"How are all of you" not accepted either?

[Michel160937]

I'm fine

[empty.mind]

What is the difference of みなさん and みんな?

[deactivated user]

みなさん is the polite form that you would use to or about a group of people with whom you are not friends or otherwise an equal to.

[NawfsideJones]

Why won't "Is everyone well" work?

[QuentinHea]

皆さん、お元気ですか。

[HalfPurr]

Why "How are you guys" here is wrong? Thx

[Jammy30329]

Y'all good?

[MattSpano2]

I think of this more as: "Is everyone doing well?"

[Tai40777]

Is the use of は in place of the comma also acceptable? The comma kind of threw me off so I put "Everyone, feeling well?" when it sounds odd in English.

But if は is there instead of the comma then the answer sounds better. To me, at least.

[AVAX3M]

This is a sentence with at least two possible different translations.

a. "How is everyone?"/"Is everyone okay?"

This is where the particle は is implied, and the meaning is just the same as that of みんなさんはお元気ですか. This is probably the most polite translation of the sentence.

b. "Everyone, how are you?"/"Everyone, are you okay?"

Here, the translation is more direct and more literal. You are addressing everyone and checking on them directly, but is not as polite.

[sotnosen93]

Is "Everyone, are you doing well?" acceptable or is it too unnatural a translation?

[LucidusAtra]

"Everyone, are you well?" isn't accepted?? Why not??
