i am so-so, i am terrible hi, there are such examples in the textbook. A:how are you today? B:I am so-so. A:how are you today? B:i am terrible. They are grammatically correct, right? while, my question is: are they natural to you? or actually you would say "I feel terrible/I have a terrible day. or it is just so-so." Thanks.

Yes both A and B are correct and sound fine. You can say I feel so-so or it was a so-so day. Instead of saying "I have a terrible day" you could say "I have had a terrible day" or "I'm having a terrible day"

Nothing grammatically wrong, but I'd be much more likely to say "I'm alright" or "I'm ok". I don't think I've ever said "I'm so-so". I answer so-so more for "how did it go" type questions. E.g. How was the test? So-so. How was the movie? Just so-so.
