Ning hao

In Mandarin, 'ning hao' (pronounced as ning as in evening and how) means 'How are you?'
If someone greets you with 'ning hao', you should reply with 'wo hao, xie xie ni' which means 'I am fine, thank you.'
'wo' is pronounced as 'war' in English, xie sounds like se in session and
ni is articulated as knee.
