Just realised why my bro asks if I have eaten, that is how you say how are you in chinese
they usually teach you "nǐ hǎo ma" as how are you in mandarin but real chinese people will ask you "nǐ chī le ma" i.e. "did you eat?"
I know that the cantonese speakers asks the same question but I dunno what it is in cantonese
