Comrades,

"Idhi nade?" is a luo equivalent for How are you.

Do                           not follow where the path may lead. Go instead where there is no path and leave a trail.

Salaam, 
'Caafimaadka ka waran' it literally means how is your health. It is commonly used as how are you.

friends: best wishes tomorrow for International Women’s Day and all the African women included in that! And as I get ready for our big conference on Women and Children’s Health in Africa at the end of the month, I am wondering if any of you could share any very basic greetings in African languages that you speak- that are essentially an inquiry about health… like in English, “how are you?” is essentially an inquiry about health.  thanks  Steve HowardDirector, African Studies and Director, Graduate Studies, Center for International Studies, Professor, Media Arts and StudiesOhio Universitywww.african.ohio.eduhttp://www.african.ohio.edu/Conferences/healthafricaconference.htm  _______________________________________________
