Summary Answer: "How is it going?" means "How are you?" or "How are things in your life/work right now?" It’s informal and widely used in English-speaking countries. Most of the time, people don’t expect a detailed answer. Just reply politely, unless it’s a close friend who genuinely wants to know more.

I used to be confused about this phrase when I first moved to the US. People would ask me “How’s it going?” while walking past me, and by the time I thought of an answer, they were already gone! That’s when I realized — it’s not always a genuine question. Rule of thumb I learned: - If someone asks while passing by quickly, just say “Good” or “Fine.” - If someone asks and actually stops to look at you, they may want a longer answer. So, it’s flexible depending on the context.
