Question 3

What category does "How ya goin'?" belong to?

Accepted Answer

"How ya goin'?" is part of Australian Slang slang. Australian slang (Aussie/Strine) is known for playful shortenings and -ie/-o diminutives, a laid‑back, deadpan tone, and friendly directness (e.g., arvo, servo, brekkie, no worries). It blends British roots with local culture—city, surf, and bush—and incorporates some First Nations words, creating a distinct, down‑to‑earth voice.
