jak się pan miewa
how are you (formal, to a man)
Pronunciation
/jak ɕɛ pan ˈmjɛ.va/
Cultural Note
'Jak się pan miewa' is the formal version of 'jak się masz'. Using 'pan' (sir) instead of 'ty' (you) signals respect and formality. The verb 'miewać' (to be doing, iteratively) adds a sense of asking about ongoing wellbeing rather than just right now.
