how are you doing vs how you doing

The correct phrase is "How are you doing?". The verb "are" is necessary in this context to form a complete question in English. "How you doing?" is not a correct construction in English.

how are you doing

This phrase is correct and commonly used in English to inquire about someone's well-being.

This phrase is a common informal greeting used to ask someone how they are feeling or what they have been up to.

Examples:

  • Hey, how are you doing today?
  • I just wanted to check in and see how you are doing.
  • How are you doing after your trip?
  • How are you doing with your new job?
  • How are you doing with your studies?
  • Jul 17, 2021 ... The two phrases sound the same, but “how are you” is a more reserved and formal phrase than “how are you doing,” which appears more casual.

Alternatives:

  • How are you?
  • How have you been?
  • How's it going?
  • How have you been doing?
  • How's everything?
