Ça va?, Comment allez-vous?
How’s it going?, How are you doing?
Ça va? is more informal and what you would typically say to other students or friends.
Ça va, Paul?
How’s it going, Paul?

- Ça va: It’s going fine.
- Ça va bien: It’s going well.
- Ça va mal: It’s going badly.
- Comme ci, comme ça: So-so.
