Hi,
I've often heard:

- How are you?
- (I'm) good / fine, (thanks).

Emotion: smile

Hi,

Some people see (I'm) goodas an informal Americanism. Emotion: big smile

Best wishes, Clive

What about 'To be under the weather'

- How are you?
- I am under the weather (?)

or is it used in these cases?

- How are you?
- Not very well
- Oh, I'm sorry you are under the weather.

I read it in a book and thought it was an idiom, but, I am not sure of it! Does it make any sense?

Hi,

Yes, that's fine. It's the same as saying I am sick and I feel sick.

Sick? Sick means ill, doesn't it?

I thought it meant in a bad mood or something similar, like sad or not on the mood to smile..

Thanks once more!
