Merhaba Herkes.

I know there is a section on here about general Polite expresions. However, I was told that it is very polite in Turkish culture to ask how the person´s family is doing? Personally, I think it´s polite in all cultures but this person seemed very specific when mensioning this. I didn´t find many of these on the site. Could anyone tell me, generally, how you would go about saying:

´How is the family?´

´I hope everyone is well/healthy´

´May god bless health upon you and the family´

I don´t know if these phrases are really used in Turkish much, but personally I think I would be really nice to know how to use these. Thankyou for your time {#emotions_dlg.love} xx

Also, is there are any other nice phrases like these that are used?

for example you can say "ailen nasıl? hepsine selamlar"

i.e. how is your family? greetings to all of them
