"Kamu sehat?"

Translation: Are you well?

Are you healthy? = not accepted.
I think it should be accepted as well.

Can this phrase be used as a greeting like in some other languages?

[Away54]

Ainar-G,

Yes, it can but not Formal. We may simply say "Sehat?" after "Apa kabar?"

So,

"Apa kabar? Sehat?"

[SWybrow]

Is "apakah" needed at the start of the question because the answer will be either "yes" or "no"?

Is "apakah" needed at the start of the question because the answer will be either "yes" or "no"?

'apakah' is put at the beginning of a normal declarative sentence to change the statement into a yes/no question.
It's needed/preferred in the formal style.
'apakah' can be omitted, as long as the sentence has another intonation (in the informal speech), so that it's clear that it's a question and not a statement.

'Kamu sehat!' = You are healthy!
'Kamu sehat?' = You are healthy?
'Apakah kamu sehat?' = Are you healthy?

If you put 'apa' / 'apakah' at the beginning of the sentence, then there is no doubt that it is a question and not a statement.

I put ....you are healthy... not accepted ..no question mark but as you cannot speak a question mark i would think you are healthy would be correct

[Gill714966]

A rising intonation at the end would be a spoken question mark as in English, only I can’t hear one, a difficulty I keep having with this speaker.

[grasmi]

"you are well?" is not accepted. Just curious as to why not?

[graeme143846]

Are you healthy is accepted why do we need not need to say apakah to designate it is a question ..i see the question mark but we would not say ..kamu sehat question mark when we speak so i would think if you spoke ..kamu sehat ..it would actually say ..you are healthy ..any ideas as to this
