Bonjour, les filles, comment allez-vous?

I am practicing my Français. Here's a hint as to what I"m saying..."Bonjour" you pronounce "boujur." Which is a greeting.
"Les filles" is the word "girls." Hint to you horse people, the word for the mare under a year is '"filly" derived from the Français "les filles" which, again, means girls.
Then the last one, the really hard reading one "comment allez-vous?" means "how are you?" This phrase was originally some sort of greeting, but the speaker (me) formed it into a question so I reversed the word structure.
Comment allez-vous is a lot easier to say than it looks. "Comment" is pronounced "Commayt" (remember to roll it lightly across your tongue, but don't actually roll your tongue) "allez-vous" is pronounced "ella-voo." Again, remember to pronounce this lightly.


So now you know the phrase: "Bonjour, les filles, comment allez-vous?"
