Slang = It's good, It's alright, I'm alright.
It is short for = Всё в порядке = Everything is in order.
Позвонил друзьям и спросил как дела у них,
"всё в поряде давно не слышали ты чё притих"
I called my people and asked how they are,
"Everything is fine, havn't heard from you in a long time, what happend?"
девушки в поряде, все как надо
The girls are fine, everything is ok.
Seems to be quite similar to the German: alles in ordnung. I always liked that one for some reason.
Perhaps it's a cultural thing to have such a strong connection between things being 'good' and things being 'ordered' .. ?
If an English speaker says 'everything is in order' it sounds like he's rather pompous, or doing something very official/important.
Dutch: Alles in orde.
Only it's not slang, just colloquial speech.Quote:

Гланка, минты тусуетса на рынки.
As apposed to- Пасматри, палиция сабралас на базари
Oh, yes, sorry. Somehow I didn't see that "к" was missing and thought that it was "всё в порядке". Without "к" it's really slang.Quote:

Finally, since everyone else seem to refer to another language with that sentence I have-to aswell; In Swedish: "Bara bra"
Zhenya, the most common is Нормально or хорошо.
