Answer 1

I think that's Mexican slang for "cómo estás?". So, if I'm right, the meaning is : how are you, Rebecca?

geeeeeez, no idea, not understandable around here.... - 00494d19, Sep 16, 2009

Answer 2

So... to sum up... You said "My name is Rebecca." and your friend responded (more or less) "Whuzzup, Rebe?"

Answer 3

Quiúbole Rebe?

The spelling is a bit strange. Because it is Mexican slang there is some disagreement about how it should be spelled. It sounds like "¿Cúbole, Rebe? I suspect that the base question started off as "¿Qué le hubo? (¿Qué le pasó? or ¿Qué le ha sucedido?) Appending the pronoun to conjugated verb forms used to be fairly frequent in literature (but not, so far as I know in spoken Spanish). It may, however, had some carryover in certain expressions/in some places. Once you move the "le" to be appended to the verb, the coalescing of "qué hubo" into "cubo" is not uncommon is casual speech.

P.S. sorry about the above indicated pronunciation. I should have agreed with the (phonetic) spelling "quiúbole" (it's a very unusual sequence of sounds in Spanish and I'm having trouble imagining how the typical Spanish speaker would represent it).

which shows sam....your Spanish is better than mine! jeje - 00494d19, Sep 16, 2009
