What do you say when your friend says hello?

How are you?” If your friend greets you like this, you can respond with “yeah, fine” or, if you want to sound even more British, “not bad” — which means exactly the same thing. Alright, mate? / Alright? This is a very common slang way to say a chilled-out “Hi” to a friend.
