I heard that in an advertisement. I think it means "what's up"?

Now I think you are probably not asking for the meaning.

@Don José: it's a casual way to start a conversation, like "qué tal" or "cómo te/le/les/os va".

@Whitney: You can start with small simple sentences in Spanish or use the forums to ask specific questions on what you don't understand or want to learn.

I have understood that he wanted to mean What's up

I don't know if I'm in the correct.

I don't know if I'm right.
Yes, she is asking members of the forum "What's up?" She wants to chat with people.

I appreciate your corrections very early.

Yes effectively I wanted to say, She meant, only I forgot the the mean pass, then I was saying that she clearly is doing a question Whassup it's like to What's Up Que paso, Que onda that phrase is the indicative of a nature and informal salute between the younger, I'm quite right with your commentary, but I'm more inclined for the informal salute and not as it can be used in a chat request.

I don't know that clarify is my poor view point.

Thank you very much.

In Spanish would you say, '¿Que pasa?'

Yes, but "¿qué pasa?". I wonder if only in "South Spain".

Not that phrase is very popular in anywhere.

At least here I have used that word or phrase during all my whole life.
