Yes, or you can add the simple question 'isn't it?' at the end. Let's practise the pronunciation of both of those. Please repeat after me.
Lovely day.
Terrible weather.

Sam
Yes, here they used 'aren't they?' instead of 'isn't it?' because 'buses' are plural. So we use 'are' with 'buses' but with 'day' and 'weather' we use 'is'. Quick practice! Repeat after me:
The buses are always so crowded.

Haven't seen you in a while! How are things?
Sam
They asked 'How are things?', which is similar to asking 'How is everything?' These are all quite informal ways of asking 'How are you?' and we use them with people we know a little bit, usually not with people we don't know.
Let's practise - repeat after me:
