As expressed in previous answer, it is too literal to use as a greeting.
Bạn đang xem: The difference between “how are you” and
You could perhaps use "What"s up?" instead to try to lớn achieve a similar thing.
This is treated as a greeting whilst literally meaning "what are you doing?" / "how are you?".
The receiver can then either just say a greeting back or answer either question above.

No, those phrases are not the same. "Hi" is a greeting, while "What are you doing today?" is used when you want to know what that person"s schedule will be like that day. Why would you want to lớn know what they are doing today? Maybe you want lớn spend time with them (if they are busy then you can"t), or you are simply curious as khổng lồ what they will be doing later that same day.
However, there is a similar phrase lớn "what are you doing today?" It is "how are you doing today?"
For example:
Other person: "Hongirlgames.como!"
You: "Hi! How are you (doing) today?"
Other person: "Great, how are you?"
You: "Great, thanks."
I put the "doing" in parentheses because the sentence would still make sense if it was not there.
