¿Cómo han estado?

How have you been?
💬 When you ask about more than one person, Spanish uses plural [han]: [¿Cómo han estado?] for [How have you all been?]. For one person, switch to [ha]: [¿Cómo ha estado?].
🇲🇽 This is a warm, natural question with in-laws or older relatives you're being respectful with. In Mexico, using the plural can include the whole household without naming everyone one by one.
