¿Hola como te va?
Hello how's it going?



Not trying to be the language expert here because I'm not, but I have found 'Hola, Como le va?" to be a bit more formal & polite, especially to someone you don'y know or when asking for info.


It's important to be polite and formal when the next words out of your mouth are gonna be "Chupa sin Condon?"

You can be a prick all you want! Makes no difference to me. I have found people, even chicas, respond better to polite & formal than the opposite!!

Looked through the thread...might have missed this... but the simplest change is "como estas"... friendlier and less formal than "como esta"... And I don't think it shows any lack of respect ... perhaps a native of CR might want to chime in if I am wrong here.
