Question

We say "¿cómo

estás?" to whom?
Your boss, your teacher, or someone you don't know well.
Family only,
Family and friends.

Answer 1

In Spanish, we use "¿cómo estás?" when addressing friends and family, and "¿cómo está usted?" when addressing someone in a more formal or respectful setting.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Spanish, we say "¿cómo estás?" to friends and family.

When addressing someone in a more formal or respectful setting, such as your boss, teacher, or someone you don't know well, it is more appropriate to use "¿cómo está usted?" or "¿cómo se encuentra?"

For example, if you were asking your friend how they are, you would say "¿cómo estás?", but if you were asking your teacher, you would use "¿cómo está usted?".
