are you OK
Checking on someone
Are you OK is a common check-in asking whether someone is physically or emotionally all right.
It ranges from casual greeting Hey, are you OK? to urgent concern after an accident or emotional distress.
The question can also probe deeper: Are you OK? You've seemed off lately.
R U OK is a texting abbreviation and the name of an Australian mental health awareness campaign.
