Best Answer

This is usually translated into English as 'How are you?'

It is used frequently in Japan as a general greeting. It is often used with the honorific O in front as in "O genki desu ka?" or informally as just "genki?" or "genki no?" Genki means in good health and feeling well. You are literally asking if the person is healthy and doing well.

'genki (not genku) desu' is an answer to the question, 'genki desu ka?' the question is basically 'you are fine?' and the answer is 'i am fine.' of course, this is not the literal translation, but i hope this helps you out. =]

元気/げんき/Genki Translates to lively. Genki on its own can also be asking someone if they are doing well, but you will also sometimes hear 原器ですか/Genki desuka which also means that same thing.
