Things You Should Know

“What are you up to?” can be used as a casual greeting that doesn’t require a very detailed response.

Ask when you want to know exactly what someone is doing because you’re curious or want to know if they’re busy.

Coming from someone you haven’t seen in a long time, it’s an invitation for you to talk about big events happening in your life.

Responses can be standard, but you can also be funny or flirty depending on who the other person is.
