What's Up? Meaning and Grammar with Example Sentences | Learn English Slang

Hi, everybody.

Kumusta, lahat.

I’m Esther.

Ako si Esther.

And in this video, we’re going to talk about a slang word that is “What’s up?”

At sa video na ito,

pag-uusapan natin ang tungkol

sa isang salitang balbal na "Ano na?"

So “What’s up?” can be used in 2 ways.

Anong meron?" maaaring gamitin sa 2 paraan.

The first way is a way to greet people to say, 'hi'.

Ang unang paraan ay isang paraan para batiin ang mga tao para sabihing, 'hi'.

And actually when we say, “What’s up?”, it means “hi”, “how are you?”

At sa totoo lang kapag sinabi nating, “Ano na?”,

ibig sabihin ay “hi”, “kumusta ka na?”

or “What are you doing these days?” right.

o “Ano ang ginagawa mo sa mga araw na ito?” tama.

“What are you up to these days?”

"Ano ang ginagawa mo sa mga araw na ito?"

So that’s the first way we use “What’s up?”

Kaya iyon ang unang paraan na ginagamit natin ang "Ano na?"

The second way is to ask, “What’s wrong?” “Is something wrong?”

Ang pangalawang paraan ay ang magtanong, “Ano ang mali?”

"May problema ba?"

“Is something bad happening to you?” right.

"May masama bang nangyayari sayo?" tama.

So those are the two ways we can use ‘What’s up?’.

Kaya iyon ang dalawang paraan na magagamit natin ang 'What's up?'.

So let’s look at these example sentences.

Kaya tingnan natin ang mga halimbawang pangungusap na ito.

Here is the first one.

Narito ang una.

“Hey, Susie. What’s up?”

“Hoy, Susie. Anong meron?”

So this person, 'A", is asking Susie,

Kaya ang taong ito, si 'A", ay nagtatanong kay Susie,

“Hey Susie how are you?"

"Hey Susie kumusta ka?"

or “Hey, Susie. What are you up to these days?”

o “Hoy, Susie. Ano ang ginagawa mo sa mga araw na ito?"

“What are you doing these days?”

“Anong ginagawa mo nitong mga araw na ito?”

And here are some ways you can answer.

At narito ang ilang mga paraan na maaari mong sagutin.

"Nothing much."

"Wala masyado."

That means nothing special is happening in my life.

Ibig sabihin walang kakaibang nangyayari sa buhay ko.

I’m not doing much or maybe if they said,

Wala naman akong masyadong ginagawa o baka kung sabihin nila,

"Hey Susie what’s up?"

"Hoy Susie what's up?"

Susie can say, “I’m going to the movies.”

Maaaring sabihin ni Susie na,

“Pupunta ako sa mga sine.”

She would just say what she’s doing. Right.

Sasabihin lang niya kung ano ang ginagawa niya.

Tama.

Another way, remember the second way, is to ask,

Ang isa pang paraan,

tandaan ang pangalawang paraan, ay ang magtanong, “Ano ang mali?”

“What’s wrong?” “Is everything okay?”

"Okay lang ba ang lahat?"

So here is how we would use it.

Kaya narito kung paano namin ito gagamitin.

"You look upset."

"Mukhang dismayado ka."

"What’s up?"

"Anong meron?"

Again, "You look upset. What’s up?",

Muli, "Mukhang masama ang loob mo. Anong meron?",

"What’s wrong?"

"Anong mali?"

And maybe this person would say,

At baka sabihin ng taong ito,

“I lost my wallet.”

"Nawala ko ang aking pitaka."

That’s why they’re upset.

Kaya pala nagkakagulo sila.

“I lost my wallet.”

"Nawala ang wallet ko."

So you can say why you look upset.

Para masabi mo kung bakit ka nagmumukhang sama ng loob.

“What’s going on?” Or “What’s wrong?”

"Ano ang nangyayari?"

O “Ano ang mali?”

Now let’s look at how to pronounce it one more time.

Ngayon tingnan natin kung paano ito bigkasin nang isa pang beses.

“What’s up?”

“Anong meron?”

It’s almost like what’s and up are blended, like they are connected.

Parang pinaghalo ang ano at pataas,

parang konektado.

“What’s up?”

“Anong meron?”

And I also want to mention

At gusto ko ring banggitin na ang ilang mga tao ay nagsasabi,

that some people say, “What up?”

"Ano na?"

They take out the ‘s’.

Inalis nila ang 's'. "Kumusta?"

“What up?”

Or some people even just say ‘sup’ right?

Or some people even just say 'sup' right?

‘Sup’ that means the same thing

Ang ibig sabihin ng 'Sup' ay pareho lang

but I want you guys to make sure that you use “What’s up?”

pero gusto kong tiyakin ninyo

na gagamitin ninyo ang "Ano na?"

That’s the best way to say it.

Iyan ang pinakamahusay na paraan upang sabihin ito.

Let’s look at a few more example sentences together.

Tingnan natin ang ilan pang halimbawa ng mga pangungusap nang magkasama.

Okay, let’s look at some examples.

Okay, so we’ve looked at some example sentences.

Okay,

kaya tumingin kami sa ilang halimbawa ng mga pangungusap.

Now, let me remind you that “What’s up?” is a great way to say “Hello” or “How are you?”

Ngayon, hayaan mong ipaalala ko sa iyo na “Ano na?”

ay isang mahusay na paraan upang sabihin ang "Hello" o "Kumusta ka?"

But remember, only to somebody that you know well.

Ngunit tandaan, sa isang taong kilala mo lang.

So maybe a friend ... maybe family if you’re very close,

Kaya marahil isang kaibigan

marahil pamilya kung ikaw ay napaka-close,

but never in a business conversation.

ngunit hindi kailanman sa isang pag-uusap sa negosyo.

And never in a formal conversation where you are meeting with somebody very important.

At hindi kailanman sa isang pormal na pag-uusap

kung saan nakikipagkita ka sa isang taong napakahalaga.

In those cases you just want to say, “How are you?”

Sa mga pagkakataong iyon, gusto mo lang sabihin,

"Kumusta ka?"

Not “What’s up?”

Hindi "Anong meron?" Sige?

Okay?
