Hi! How you reply depends on how you are greeted. If someone were to just say "hi" then you could just say "hi" or "hello" back, or in slang you could say "hey." If someone asks "how are you" then you could say "good, you?" or "I'm doing well, thank you" It all depends on how you're greeted!

Hi...I hope this helps.
If someone says "Hi" or "Hello", you can say the same back to them...just "Hi" or "Hello". If someone says "hi' to me, I usaully say "hello" back to them.

If they ask "how r u?" then your answer is great! Just say "Fine" and that is great! Hope it helps.

Good evening,
There are many options available when replying to Hi!, Hello! or How are you?
Some examples are:
Great, and you? Good evening/morning/afternoon, how are things going with you? Fabulous, you? Could be better but now I have you to chat with/cheer me up/ bring sunshine into my life/etc.
I hope this helps a little.

Hi Tina,

Can I know why to say "I'm just chilling?"
Chilling means cold, doesn't it? A million thanks!

Hi Cliff

In American proper english, chilling does mean cold, but in street slang it means "relaxing" or "spending the day doing nothing" Hope this helps! ~ Ahlam

Re:Re:Re:Reply to Greetings in English
"Just chillin" in my perspective is "I'm fine, just hanging out". It's a slang words during conversation, when you ask your friend, what are you doing?, most of my friend would say,, nothing just chilling" meaning they're just hanging around their house or wherever they are. Hope it makes sense.....
