Hey guys, sorry to ask you such a stupid question... I'm not Nigerian, and I've noticed that you say: hope you're fine? And you add a question mark at the end. Is it a way of saying "how are you"? Note that English is not my mother tongue either. Sorry to post it in this section! I didn't know where else to post it... |
