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. =]

Usually used as a question - like "How are you?"
Q: Genki desuka? (literally - are you healthy? - or how are you doing?)

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.
"Are you well?"
genki desu ka or ikaga desu ka
Genki desu. Anata WA genki desu ka? I am well. How are you?
Hello = "Konnichiwa" How are you? = "Genki desu ka?"
I think you mean "genki desu ka". The correct way of spelling it in English would be "ogenki desu ka". It is Japanese for "How are you?" One would usually answer by saying "Genki desu. Anata wa?' which means "I'm fine, and you?"
You may say 'konnichiwa. genki desu ka,' written: こんにちは。元気ですか
kumusta (how are you) = お元気ですか? (o genki desu ka)

O genki desu ka→How are you? watashiwa o genki desu is wrong. When you describe yourself,do not use [o]. watashi WA genki desu→I'm fine. anata wadaijoubo desuka? is wrong.daijoubo is daijoubu. anata WA daijoubu desuka?→Are you well?
