* Ça → That / It
* Va → Goes

Aller not Être
Before we go into discussing “how are you“, we first have to mention the right verb.
In English, we say “how are you”, but in French they say “how goes it”.
In old English this was more prelevant.
So, before we proceed, just remember the following:
You have to use aller (to go), if you want to ask “how are you” in French.
Comment ça va ?
How are you?
Ça va ?
How are you?
