Hi Vireak! Yes, you can, but it is VERY formal. Usually, we only say "How do you do?" the very first time we meet someone important. For daily life, "How are you?" is much better! business_center

No, please don't use "What's up?" with your boss! It is very casual slang. Use it only with your close friends and family. For your boss, just say "How are you doing today?" handshake

Actually, "What's up?" means "What are you doing?" or "What is happening?". So the best answer is "Not much", "Nothing much", or you can just say "Hey!" right back to them. waving_hand
