How do you spell how are in Latin?

There isn't a single, perfect translation of "How are you?" in Latin because the formality and the exact meaning you intend influence the phrasing. Here are a few options, each with slightly different nuances:

* Quid agis? This is a common and informal way to ask "How are you doing?" or "What are you doing?" It's suitable for friends and equals.

* Quid agitis? This is the plural form of "Quid agis?", used when addressing more than one person.

* Valete? This literally translates to "Are you well?" or "Farewell (in the sense of 'I hope you are well')" and is a more formal and polite way to inquire about someone's well-being. The plural is also *Valete*.

* Quomodo vales? This translates more literally to "How are you well?" and is a more formal way of asking. The plural is *Quomodo valetis?*

The best option depends on the context and your relationship with the person you're addressing. `Quid agis?` is generally the safest and most commonly used informal option.
