To ask "how are you?" in Japanese, one would say お元気ですか(ogenki desu ka), which literally means something along the lines of "are you healthy?".
"Genki desu ka". The u in desuka is silent so it is pronounced "deska".
Genki desu ka literally means "Are you well?" (genki means healthy/energetic)
Or, more politely, Ogenki desu ka.
People don't normally ask "how are you". They tend to comment on the weather outside instead of asking how someone is doing. It is is more likely to be used when meeting someone you haven't seen in a while.
元気ですか (genki desu ka) (polite) 元気 (genki) (with rising inflection at the end) (casual)
'Genkidesuka?'is the word for "how are you?"
It is written '元気ですか？'
日本人の特徴として、彼らは日本語のみを話す。
(for more technical pronunciation, see the related site below)
'Konnichwa. Ogenki desuka?' would be in standar/formal Japanese.
'Doumo. Genki desuka?' would be more informal.
How are you? = O Genki desu ka? おげんきですか。
"How are you?" is roughly translated into "Ogenki desu ka?" which literally means "Are you well?" Another way to ask it is to say "Dou desu ka?" which means "How is [it/you]?"
お元気ですか？- ogenki desuka? (polite form)
元気ですか？- genki desuka?
いかがですか - ikaga desuka? is another one that may be handy to know, but not commonly heard

∙ 14y agodesu means "is" in japanese
They do not really change their verb forms like we do with things such as:
He is
I am
We are
"am" and "are" stay "is" in japanese. "Is" "am" and "are" are best represented by the particles "ha" (pronounced: wa) and "ga" in Japanese.
E.G.,
Watashi ha ningen. = I am human.
Kono inu ha kawaii. = This dog is cute.
Anata ga imasu. = You are here.
"Wa" and "ga" aren't clearly associated with any of their English counterparts though. In other words, "ha" isn't always "am" and "ga" isn't always "are."
