The German sentence “Es geht mir gut, danke,” directly translates to “I’m doing well, thank you” in English. It is formed as follows:

1. “Es geht” is a standard expression meaning “it goes,” which is part of a common phrase used to describe one’s well-being.
2. “mir” is the dative form of “ich” (I), meaning “to me.” In German, the verb “gehen” (to go) in the context of well-being is often used reflexively, meaning it acts upon the speaker.
3. “gut” is the adjective “good,” describing the state of well-being.
4. “danke” is a polite way to say “thank you.”

Tips to remember it:
– “Es geht mir gut” is a fixed expression, it might be helpful to memorize it as a whole.
– Think of “mir” as the word that points back to yourself when saying how you’re doing.
– Remember that in German, well-being is often described in terms of “how it goes” (Es geht).

Alternate ways to say “I am good, thanks” in German include:
– “Mir geht’s gut, danke.” (The shorter and more colloquial form of “Es geht mir gut, danke.”)
– “Ich bin gut, danke.” (Literally “I am good, thank you,” less common for well-being, can imply you are good at doing something.)
– “Mir geht es prima, danke.” (I’m doing great, thank you.)
– “Alles in Ordnung, danke.” (Everything’s alright, thank you.)
