English is not my first language and someone just told me: 'my mom was asking about you', what does it mean and what people usually reply to that sort of statement?
Thanks
It just is a way to say your mom was wondering how the other person is doing. One answer might be this: "Oh, thanks. I'm doing fine!"
And the other person might also add, "How's your mom doing?"
oh ok thanks
You're welcome.
The statement "my mom was asking about you" typically means that the person's mother inquired or expressed interest in you. It generally indicates that the person's mother was curious about your well-being or wanted to know more about you. In terms of a response, typical replies could include:
1. "Please pass along my greetings and let her know I'm doing well."
2. "That's very kind of her. Please tell her I'm flattered that she remembered me."
3. "I hope she's doing well too. Please say hello to her for me."
4. "I appreciate her asking about me. Please tell her I'm fine."
These responses express gratitude and acknowledge the person's mother's concern or interest in a polite and friendly manner.
