Ca va. / Ca va bien.

It’s the most basic way to say  I am fine in French.

It literally means – it’s going.

Fun fact: Ca va? is also the question!

So there is such a thing as a French conversation that goes like this:

Ca va?

Ca va. Ca va?

Ca va.

Bien!

Standard and easy way to answer you’re doing good!

Just like in English actually. French’s easy! 

Je vais bien. / Tout va bien.

Oh, either something’s wrong.

Or this is just a very neutral way to say you’re fine.

A bit like when you man answers ‘I’m fine’ and it’s a complete LIE. ahah

You can throw a merci after, for good measure.

En pleine forme! / Je pète la forme.

Yeah! That’s better!

It literally means “in great shape”.

But it doesn’t matter what size you are! How cool is that?

“Je pète la forme” is a more casual way to say it. If you’re over 50, try to avoid it, unless you want to be funny.
