Do not use "and you?"
When greeting in Persian, the answer "and you?" is not used.

| A:Hello | A:Hello |
| A:How are you | A:How are you? |
| ---- | B:Hello |
| B:Fine,Thanks | B:Fine,Thanks |
| B:And you? | B:How are you? |
| A:Good,Thanks |
"be going to" = "want" (slang)
In slang, there is no difference between "be going to" and "want".
Examples:
- I'm going to the cinema (formal) من قصد دارم به سینما بروم
- I want to go to the cinema (formal) من می خواهم به سینما بروم
- I'm going to the cinema (slang) من می خواهم به سینما بروم
- I want to go to the cinema (slang) من می خواهم به سینما بروم

فردا(قید) به تهران می روم (زمان حال)
