Greeting English

I've been studying in CA for two months. Sometimes, I found it is difficult to greet with other friends. It's not a good idea when you encounter with one of your friend just saying "how are you" like the servant in the supermarket. 

Therefore, I conclude some useful greeting sentences. (ask  how of someone)

1. How's it going? 

answers:

1) good.

2) Pretty good.

3) Not bad.

4) Not so good.

5) Not good.

but you can't answer this use "I am fine" it will be a bit strange. Anyway, I always answer this in I am fine.

2. How are you? ----if in the textbook, you will say "I am fine" ok, you will say " I am good, and you?"

Then some different answers:

1）"pretty good." 

2）“Not bad".  ---You can use this if you are feeling just ok or so-so.

3) I am fine. ----We always use this.

3. What's Up? 

One way:To reply this you should use a cheerful voice":Not much!!"  or "Nothing much!" --This means you are free and able  to chat.

Another: what's up? means "hello or hi" you can also reply this for "hello"

Third way: you can just answer this by "What's up?" It is just like the "hello" 

Tricky: Always I heard someone said " it is a little bit tricky!" I don't understand the meaning of tricky. 

Tricky means ”机警的，狡猾的，有难度的“；

Got it?
