Ni hao benny!
well, I had this Chinese friend and I was practicing my Mandarin with him and I asked him how he was and he said “wo hao bu hao.” I didnt get it!

Whats it mean? “Im good not good?”
or is it a way to say so-so? Becuase I thought so-so was “ma ma hu hu”
or something like that.

Xie xie!

Hi Shelby,
It is a Chinese way to reply others greetings. For instance:
—ni zui jin hao ma=how is everything goes on recently?
—wo hen hao, ni hao bu hao=I am fine, what about you?

And soso does mean “ma ma hu hu”.
