HOW DID IT GO? / IT WENT (WELL).
どうだった?/うまくいったよ。

Explanation

  • When you want to ask someone if they were satisfied with an event or if it was successful, you can ask, “How did it go?

    If the event is happening now, you can ask, “How is it going?

    We also use the word go in this way when answering such questions; for example, “It went well.”
  • 誰かに、ある出来事について満足出来たかどうかや、成功したかどうかを聞きたい場合、How did it go? と言う表現を使うことができます。

    もしその出来事が今起こっているのなら、How is it going? と聞きます。

    このような質問に対して答える場合にも、同じように go という言葉を使います。例:It went well.(うまくいきました。)
