Where is que hubo used?
Quiubo is not exclusive to Mexico. It is very much used in Colombia. It's highly regarded as a very Colombian saying , much like qué onda is considered very Mexican. In Colombia they say Qué Hubo for a greeting, or Q'hubo for short.
It's the most common way in Dominican Republic and Cuba (although they say que bola) but varies for other countries outside of the Caribbean. South and Central Americans would use Que tal or Que pasa more. This is Spanish spoken in Spain by Spaniards when they speak Spanish.
"¿Qué pasó?" is a past tense phrase that translates to "What happened?" or "What's up?" in English. It is used to inquire about past events or to ask what's going on with someone. "¿Qué pasa?" is a present tense phrase that translates to "What's happening?" or "What's up?" in English.
Quiubo is a contraction of the word “que hubo,” which means what's up? You can walk up to anyone and say “quiubo” and it'll be like saying “'sup?”
A contraction so common that it became slang. The was once “qué hubo?”, but after decades of use, has now been shortened. Although the direct translation is “what has happened?”, it's used as a simple “what's up?”.
vieja (a girl, a woman, a chick)
However, in Colombia "vieja" is a very common word people use to talk about a woman or a girl.
Yala is probably one of my favorite Dominican slangs. This is a common word used in informal settings around friends. It's a common way to say, "okay." If something is okay or alright, then “yala” is the word you want to use. So next time you want to say “o*kay” in the DR make sure to use “yala”.
Te Quiero – Te Amo. “Te amo” translates directly to, “I love you.” You might be thinking, “Isn't that exactly what 'te quiero' meant?” Well, yes —and no. Saying “te amo” is much more romantic and affectionate, and should be reserved for serious relationships and immediate family members.
Mexican Spanish (Spanish: español mexicano) is the variety of dialects and sociolects of the Spanish language spoken in the United Mexican States.
If it is said as a greeting, for example someone entering the room and saying “Qué pasa?, it should be answered as if the person said “What's up?”. They don't really want to know what is up, they are just saying “Hi, how are you”. So, you can say “all good and you? ” = “todo bien y tú?”
Do Mexicans say que paso?
In Miami, the mostly Cuban born people I worked with in the 1970's all said Que Pasa, but in Arizona and California (and in Sonora Mexico) the Mexican Spanish speakers commonly say Que paso. It is a casual greeting, just as in the US we say "what's happening" and doesn't require a specific response.
"Que Pasa" is an informal Spanish phrase that translates to "What's up?" or "What's happening?" It is commonly used in casual or familiar settings among friends or acquaintances. In more formal situations, a phrase like "¿Cómo está?" or "¿Qué tal?" would be more appropriate.
A local way of asking “what's up”, “what's new” or “what's going on.” Quiubole is short for the expression ¿Que hubo?. You can use it as an informal greeting and it's widely understood in other Central American countries like Guatemala.
Your gender is not important in this context, it's the gender of the person you're speaking to/complementing. Qué rico is for men; and qué rica is for women. Also, it seems important to put explanation marks, so it would be ¡qué rico! or !
In Dominican Republic Spanish, "¿Qué lo qué?" is commonly used as a casual greeting, similar to "¿Qué tal?" or "¿Qué pasa?" In other Latin American Spanish-speaking countries, such as Colombia, this phrase may not be commonly used and could be perceived as unusual or unfamiliar.
The word listo literally means “ready,” but is also used in Colombia to say “o*kay!” ¿Nos vemos por la tarde? ¡Listo!
