How do you say how are in kanuri?

There isn't a single, direct translation of "How are you?" in Kanuri that perfectly captures the nuance of the English phrase. Kanuri greetings and inquiries about well-being are often more context-dependent.

However, depending on the level of formality and your relationship with the person, you could use variations of:

* Námá ngá? (This is a common greeting, closer to "Hello, how are you?" or "How's it going?")

The best choice depends on the situation. Simply using "Námá ngá?" is generally safe and appropriate in most casual settings.
