Explanation:


If you address a male, you sayكيف حالكًٌٌَُُُُ pronounced as "kay-fa haaluka".
If you address a female,you write it the same way you do when addressing a male but you pronounce it differently"kay-fa haaluki".
when you address plural male,you say
كيف حالكمpronounced as "kay-fa haalakum".
when you address plural female,you say
"كيف حالكن" pronounced as "kay-fa haalukunna".
