How are you?
In Daḳota, if you have met someone before, you can ask them "Toked yauƞ he?" It is strange to ask how someone is if you have never met them before.
In English we use it everyday and sometimes, it is used for small talk. In Daḳota though, when you ask someone how they are, you mean it.
Toked yauƞ he?
