To ask one's condition, just say, "Kumaha damang?". Kumaha means how, damang means healthy or fine. So, the expression literally means "are you healthy/fine?" This is "how are you?" in Sundanese.
To reply to the question, you can say, "Saé." You can also say, "Pangésto." The word saé means "good, well, fine". Pangésto is derived from the basic word ésto which means "to serve someone loyally". Pangésto literally means "blessing". In this context, pangésto means "well (thanks to your blessing)".
