有關 英語 (美國)（英文） 的問題

"How are you?", "What's up", or "How are you doing?" 是什麼意思

Does a person who ask you "How are you" really have interested in your condition? Or does he just ask it as a sort of a habit of politeness?
Of course, it depends on who asks it, but I would like to know your feeling. I really appreciate any answers.

When a person asks “how are you” in a conversation they do ask it in a way that is polite and a way to know your condition. For example the answer of the question would be “good, and you?”. But they can also asked it to know what your condition is but usually they would phrase it differently like, “how are you doing recently”.

@lemonguy In Japan, we don't ask "How are you" not so often. So I wondered why English speaker ask it so often. But at last I understood it's a habit and politeness. Thank you so much.
