Do you have a bad habit of shaking your leg without realizing? Then stop! Apparently by shaking your leg it ‘shakes’ off all the good fortune out of you. It’s also quite rude to shake your leg when talking to your elders so it’s best to just stop this habit overal Open / Comment

Formal and polite: 요즘 어떻게 지내십니까?
Formal and casual: 요즘 어떻게 지내니?
Informal and polite: 요즘 어떻게 지내세요?
Informal and casual: 요즘 어떻게 지내?
It is used with a present tense verb “spend 지내다” and it is asking how you are nowadays. If you want to ask, “how have you been?”, you can slightly change the verb into the past tense and say “어떻게 지내셨습니까/지냈니/지냈어요/지냈어?”. You can use the adverb “well 잘”, instead of “how 어떻게”. There are other Korean expressions and all of them have the meaning of showing a general nuance of the well-being of the other. Open / Comment
