छोटा जवाब

Boys vs girls: greeting an old friend

When you meet an old friend, start with a greeting such as "Long time no see!" or "It's good to see you." Then ask "How have you been?" to show you care about their life since you last met. If you forgot their name, it's fine to say so politely and ask again.

हर संवाद का मतलब और इस्तेमाल

Long time no see! कहने का लहजा: Casual and playful

Use it with friends you haven't seen lately, usually as the first thing you say. It's very informal, so avoid it in a job interview or with someone you barely know.

“Long time no see.”

फ़िल्म About Last Night... (1986) से
It's good to see you. कहने का लहजा: Warm and polite

This works with friends and coworkers, in casual or more formal places. Use it for people you already know. For someone you are meeting for the first time, say "It's nice to meet you" instead.

“It's good to see you.”

फ़िल्म Coming to America (1988) से
How have you been? कहने का लहजा: Caring and sincere

Ask this to learn about someone's life since the last time you met. It invites a longer answer than "How are you?", so use it when you have time to listen.

“How have you been?”

फ़िल्म Grosse Pointe Blank (1997) से
It's been ages! कहने का लहजा: Friendly and surprised

Say this when a lot of time has passed since you last met. "Ages" means a very long time, not an exact number of years. It's informal, like "Long time no see!"
Look who it is! कहने का लहजा: Cheerful and informal

Use it when you suddenly see a friend you know well. It sounds happy and a little loud, so it can feel strange with a manager or a stranger.
What have you been up to? कहने का लहजा: Relaxed and curious

Ask this after the greeting to hear about work, hobbies, or plans. "Up to" means "doing." It's friendly and casual, so in a formal meeting "How has work been?" may fit better.

आम गलतियाँ

यह ठीक नहीं बैठता ~~How are you been?~~

बेहतर तरीका How have you been?

The question asks about the time from your last meeting until now, so it uses the present perfect: have + been. "Are" and "been" don't go together.
यह ठीक नहीं बैठता ~~Long time no see you!~~

बेहतर तरीका Long time no see!

This is a fixed expression. Native speakers don't add "you" or change the words, even though the grammar looks unusual.
यह ठीक नहीं बैठता ~~It's nice to meet you. (to an old friend)~~

बेहतर तरीका It's good to see you.

Use "meet" for the first time you meet someone. With a person you already know, use "see" or "see you again."
