It is using the formal "usted" (and asking, 'how are you?'), so you would use it with an authority figure, people older than you, and perhaps with people you do not know (depending on your age).

How do you say 'how is it going' in Brazil?
If you're addressing someone young with whom you've got a certain degree of friendship: "Como vai, cara?" If you know the person but not on a friend-like basis or is someone older and/or not of your age: "Tudo legal?" or "Como vai?"
When to use 'whom'?
'Whom' is used as the object of a sentence, typically following a preposition or a verb. Use 'whom' when referring to the object of a verb or a preposition, while 'who' is used as the subject. For example, you would say "To whom did you give the book?" because 'whom' is the object of the preposition 'to.'
What type of clause is for whom you left the message?
"For whom you left the message" is a prepositional phrase. A clause needs a subject and a predicate, which "for whom you left the message" lacks. It could be turned into a independent clause by messing around with the sentence to furnish one. A simple example would be, "For whom DID you leave the message? This would provide a verb and complete sentence.
How do you know whether you should use 'who' or 'whom' in a sentence?
The basic rule is this: Use the pronoun "who" when it is the subject of a clause and use "whom" when it is the object of a clause.Probably 90% of the places where you need to use "whom" are prepositional phrases. It's always "to whom", "from whom", "on whom", "with whom", "over whom", "of whom", since "whom" is the object of the preposition.If you are using the pronoun as the subject of the sentence, use "who". It's always, "Who is", "Who went", "Who did", "Who came", "Who left",Here's a trick to help remember: It's the same as the difference between "he" and "him". If a reply to your sentence would use "he", then your sentence should use "who"; if a reply to your sentence would use "him", then your sentence should use "whom". (Remember that "whom" and "him" both end with 'm'.) For example,"Who made this mess?" "He made this mess.""Who drove the car?" "He drove the car.""To whom did you give the keys?" "I gave them to him.""From whom did you hear that rumor?" "I heard it from him."Here's a tricky one--the subject is "you" and the object is "whom", but they're turned around:"Whom did you hit with a snowball?" "I hit him."
What is the difference between using who and whom?
"Who" is used as the subject of a sentence, while "whom" is used as the object. So, you would use "who" when referring to the person performing an action, and "whom" when referring to the person who is the recipient of an action.
What does hermana Como esta usted mean?
Translation: How are you, sister? It should be noted that the construction of this sentence would sound odd to Spanish speakers because, usually, a sister (to whom you are related) would be addressed with the "tú" form, not the "Ud." form. (i.e. Hermana, ?cómo estas?)
How do you say 'how are you' in Spanish?
To say "How are you" informally, you would write or say ¿Cómo estás?. At the beginning of a question in Spanish it is proper to put a question mark upside down.Depending on to whom you are talking, it is "¿Cómo estás?" or "¿Cómo está usted?".Translation: ¿Como estas?"How are you" "Como Estas""¿Cómo estás?"¿Cómo / qué tal está (usted) / están / estás / estáis?It depends on to whom you are speaking. If it is an informal setting among friends or family, you would say "¿Cómo estás?". If you are speaking to someone formally, it would be "¿Cómo está usted?". This has no real parallel in English, since we do not have an informal-formal distinction.You can say "¿Cómo estás?" or more formally, "¿Cómo está usted?"¿Cómo estás?Como estasYou can say "¿Cómo estás?" o "¿Qué tal estás?". Both work.

What does Yo no le he visto mean?
It means "I haven't see you."Oops. Typo. It means "I haven't seen you."Actually, it means "I haven't seen him/her". If it were directed at "you", the le would be te.For instance "Hoy te he visto llorar" means "Today I saw you cry".***ACTUALLY, "le" can mean "you" when referring to someone more formally, whom you might address as "usted".Correct, but then one should follow with usted to clarify or have previously established usted in the conversation. Otherwise, the "le" could be mistaken for a third party.
