You can also say "¿Qué onda?" "Qué hay de nuevo?" "Qué hubo?" "Qué húbole?"

And where I went to school they were soooo lazy they just say 'qué'...... - margaretbl, AGO 23, 2010

Would "¿qué tal?" also work?

it means "What's up?" so, I don't think so.. - culé, AGO 23, 2010

I think this is a question with probably a thousand answers. Growing up in Los Angeles, I always heard ¿Qué pasó? But I'm sure there are a lot more, just like in English there are a lot of ways to say the same general thing.

Different parts of town, Amy, or did you correct it for them? Seldom did I hear it correctly pronounced, it was usually the lazier - qué pasa? - LateToDinner, AGO 23, 2010

No, I didn't correct them because at the time I didn't know it was wrong! - amykay, AGO 23, 2010

Well, in Mexico, if you see a friend you haven't seen in a while instead of saying "¿Qué pasa?" (what's happening) you say, "¿Qué pasó?" (What happened?) As in, what's happened since I saw you last?
