| 'Allt fínt' would have been fine. :P But it's rude not to ask the other person how they are!  So... you say " En þú? " |

| En þú is more like "but you?" than "and you?" En is a mix between 'and' and 'but'. So I use it because it's a change of subject. We're longer talking about me... it's about you. So it's a 'but'. Ok... "allt góðt, karl!" |
