Cultural Tip
In many Spanish‑speaking countries, asking about someone's well‑being is a sign of care and is often done early in a conversation. For people you don’t know well or for older adults, switch to the formal form '¿Cómo se siente hoy?' to show respect. Also, note that 'sentirse' can refer to both physical health and emotional state, so context matters.
