      Ça va? Is a shorter way of saying : Comment ca va ? (How are you?) And :
      Ca va. Is a shorter way saying :
      Ca va bien. (I'm fine).
      The tone makes the difference that's it. :)

      Italian, Spanish and French are all latin languages and are very close from each other, so there is nothing surprising with this. I only know a bit of Chinese and English (aside from French), but I don't think that kind of conversation could happen as naturaly in all other languages (even though there might be many where it could work too, perhaps even better than in French. After all, such an interraction still sounds a bit stiff...)
