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...

Just trying to ask of your present well being

Your current state of mood/health/emotion

Not that trivia.

It's an alternative to saying "Hope you're good?" instead of the conventional "How you doing?". We are been optimistic about your well-being.
