что значит how you been
Приветствие
Перейдём к фразам, которыми носители английского языка приветствуют друг друга. В принципе, ничего страшного не будет, если вы будете обходиться стандартным Hi. Но хотя бы понимать все эти выражения нужно, иначе можно не понять обычного вопроса «Как дела?» и начать глупо переспрашивать.

Лёгкое приветствие, если вам лень много говорить.
Можно сказать hey there.
Hi there тоже говорят. Слово there добавляет непринуждённости, носители языка отмечают, что в таком приветствии слышится дружеская ирония.
Morning
Для более формальных приветствий лучше использовать традиционные Good morning/aftenoon/evening или их сокращённые формы, без good.
How are you doing?
Эта и следующие фразы означают ‘Привет’ или ‘Как дела?’. Используйте любые из них, главное не ‘хау ду ю ду’ 🙂
What’s going on?
Часто означает ‘Что происходит?’, но в качестве приветствия тоже постоянно используется.
How is it going?
Отвечают на эти вопросы обычно Good, Not bad, Great, Fine, Okay и т. д.
How have you been?
Если кого-то не видели достаточно давно и спрашиваете, как у него дела с тех пор.
How are you?
Ну и всем известное ‘How are you?’ никто не отменял.
Можно и спросить об общих знакомых. ‘Как там Джеф и Берел?’
What’s up?
Not much
Дела могут одти не только ок, но и ‘ничего особенного’ (nothing much, not much и т. д.)
Nice to see you
Стандартная фраза ‘Рад видеть’. Отвечают обычно you too или зеркально, как в следующем примере.
It’s been a while
It’s been so long
Примерно то же самое, только более эмоционально: ‘Так давно не виделись!’
how you been
1 How you been?
2 how you been
Good to see you. How you been? — Рад тебя видеть. Как живешь?
3 How you been?
4 How have you been?

How to Answer the Question “How Have You Been?” in Fluent English
How have you been?
“How have you been?” is a common question from native English speakers. It’s asking what you have been up to and how life has been for you from from a certain point in time. Perhaps you’re being asked how you’ve been doing since the last time you saw each other. Or maybe since the last time you spoke on the phone. Or it could also be since the last time you sent each other private messages online.
You can see that it’s used in a similar way as “how are you?”However, your answer needs to be a little bit different.
When to Use the Question “How have you been?”
But before we talk about how to answer this question, let’s talk about when to use or when to ask this question. To begin, there are two things to remember:
First, only ask this question if you have met someone previously.
Second, only ask them if you have not seen one another for some time (like a week or longer).
Most importantly, this is not a question to ask someone you have just met, nor is it a question to ask someone you just saw yesterday. The question is actually focusing on the chunk of time that has passed since you saw that person.
| “How have you been?” is about the chunk of time that has passed since you saw that person. |
Short answers to answer the question
One way to answer this question is to give short or one-word answers. This is usually the case when you are in casual conversations. Native English speakers tend to answer this way when they are conversing with others. Here are some examples of the short answers:
“A little crazy actually!”
Longer answers to answer the question
But of course, there’s a longer way to answer this question. I mentioned earlier that it’s similar to answering the question “how are you?”. The difference is when you answer “how are you?”, you answer in present tense. Such as “I’m okay.” With “how have you been?”, on the other hand, you will be answering using the present perfect progressive tense. And this is done by using “I have been” plus the continuous verb form. Present perfect progressive tense describes an action that began some time in the past, continues in the present, and may possibly continue into the future. Here are some examples:
How have you been?
“I have been busy working.”
“I’ve been traveling quite a bit since we saw each other last Christmas.”
“Oh, I’ve been studying a little too hard. I need a break.”
How has he/she been?
“Gabby’s been practicing cooking quite a bit.”
“Well, he’s been spending a lot of time at the gym!”
“Drew has been helping out kids in the neighborhood.”
How to Sound More Fluent and Native-like when you Answer the Question “How have you been?
For example: “I’ve been busy working a lot, too much maybe. How about you? How have you been?”
For example: “I’ve been real busy starting up my own business, but it has been fun too. What have you been up to?“
