أنا بخير، شكرا.

When to use

This is the most common and polite reply when asked 'Kayfa haluk?' (How are you?).

How it works

'Ana' means 'I', 'bikhayr' means 'in good condition/well', and 'shukran' means 'thanks'. Together, they form a complete positive response.

• أَنَا: I
• بِخَيْر: in good condition / well
• شُكْرًا: thanks

Prepositional Phrase

'Bikhayr' (بِخَيْر) is a prepositional phrase where 'bi-' (بِـ) means 'in' or 'with', modifying the noun 'khayr' (خَيْر - good).

Dialectal Variation

In many dialects, people might simply say 'kwayyis' (كويس - good) or 'mabsut' ( مبسوط - happy) as a reply, often omitting 'ana' and 'shukran'.

Notes

Brief positive reply. Neutral polite wording.
