How do you say 'whats up?' in spanish?

Question

i thought it was ¿qué pasa? and then i was told that means what happens. so please tell me how to say it.

Answer 1

¿qué pasa? does mean "What happens?" or "What is happening?" but it ALSO means "What's up?"

You could also say ¿qué hay?  

Answer 2

Hi, if you're using it in a salutation form, just say

"que onda?"

"que ubo?"

you can also use "que pasa" but use a tone of voice that is not too interrogatory.

Hope that helps. Ü

Answer 6

che onda is how you say whats up it literally means   (how- wave)

Answer 7

It could be ¿qué pasa? however it's true that it is more likely to be understand as "what happens?" (Notice that it isn't to different from What's up?) however I would use ¿Qué hay? (It's not used in all countries, however almost everyone will understand what you wanted to say.

Answer 8

"Que pasa" means "whats up" in spanish

Answer 9

Que onda?

In Mexico

Answer 10

literally ¿Qué pasa? means What happens? but in colloquial Spanish that phrase is used as an informal greeting, similar to English "What´s up".

Although "¿qué tal?" is another informal greeting, I think is not equivalent to What´s up. Que tal is used for young and older people, even when you are introduced to someone in your work place. It´s more like How it is going? or How you doing?

For me ¿que pasa? is very informal, almost vulgar, because looks like a very rude question.

Answer 11

What's up in spanish is "que arriba"

i agree..whoever told you that obvioulsy doesnt know any spanish.

Hope that helped!! :]

Answer 12

ok, full blooded spanish talking dude coming tru.  :p

Que pasa? does mean whats up.  It is used as "slang". just as when you tell someone "what's up?"....you dont really mean what is up, above you.

so in spanish, yes, "que pasa?", means "what happens", or if you want to go more literal, then, "what is happening?".

So, summarizing, que pasa is slang, and yes it does mean whats up. or you can also say "que onda" "que transas" ......etc etc etc.......

Answer 13

I've learned Que Tal, but I heard also Que Pasa

Answer 14

it is que pasa , someone told u wrong. also you can say " que tal"  . "que te pasa"  is what is happening with you (what is wrong with you).   "que onda' is another way but that is mexican spanish and most mexicans say "que pasó" the past tense of whats up.

Answer 15

well, que pasa is ok, but we dont use it like that so much,

in spanish for whats up, we use 'que onda'

i hope i helped :D

Answer 16

You can say it in so many different ways depending of what kind of people you are for example.

if you ar with your friends hanging around and you found an other friend you could say hey! que onda?  or you can say que hubo wuey? (wuey it's like buddy, bro, depends)

los nacos say (que movimiento?) que Honduras? como andamos?
