Hi friends,

 

Could you please help me with specifying the following sentences.

 

1. What about you ?

 

2. How about you ?

 

What is main difference in the sense of both sentences ?

 

Thanks in advance

“ 1. What about you ?


2. How about you ? ”

Throughout my long life, I've heard them used interchangeably.  I can't put my finger on any difference.
