English term or phrase: How are you doing?
question
Christina
Spanish translation:¿Cómo te va?, or ¿Cómo vas?
Explanation:
I think these translations are more direct.....although "¿Cómo estás?" will certainly work, it specifically means "How are you?", not "How are you doing?"

¿Qué tal te va?


Explanation:
Esto sería lo que se diría en España para este caso.

La prefiero a ¿cómo te va?, también muy correcta, por el uso de la palabra "tal".

El empleo de este formulismo ¿Qué tal?, ¿Qué tal te va? da más idea del tiempo en presente continuo "are you doing" del original inglés.

El paso de la traducción literal a la fórmula propuesta sería ¿cómo estás tu haciendo"=¿Como te está yendo?=¿Qué tal te va?. Aquí el "tal" se mete de lleno dentro de la acción, lo que no ocurre en el caso de ¿cómo te va?.

Espero no haber sido pelma

Un abrazo
