Hale means strong and well, especially of an old person who still has energy. In real talk, English speakers almost never say hale by itself; they say hale and hearty, a fixed pair, like a little song. It sounds old-fashioned and kind — the sort of thing a neighbour might say about a — warmer than a doctor’s word like healthy. Younger people may not use it at all except as a set phrase. There is a rare verb hale meaning to drag someone along; that is a different word.
