How do you say how are you in Argentinian Spanish?
¿Cómo estás? is basic/informal and not the formal use of 'usted,' but as an Argentinean living in the USA, we rarely refer to other Argentineans with 'usted' since they are just other paisanos (countrymen).
To make it formal, one simply omits the last 's' and can add the word 'usted' (optional). For example: "¿Cómo está?" or "¿Cómo está usted?" Keep in mind the Argentineans don't aways pronounce the letter 's' in words, or they do so more slightly than most other Spanish-speaking countries. (Uruguay, the country directly above Argentina, has a very similar way of speaking, while Spain, El Salvador, etc., does not.)
Oftentimes, the word "che" is interjected, like "¿Cómo estás, che?" or "Che, ¿cómo estás?" Those are pretty common amongst people who know each other, like friends and family, and can also be used quite frequently as a general, friendly greeting.
Just remember that Argentineans speak Spanish - Argentine-style Spanish is not considered a different language since Argentineans understand Spanish from Mexico all the way to Spain and conversely are also understood. The differences are cultural and/or geographical, and even though they all definitely spice up the Spanish language, overall there isn't much difference.
