Answer 2

In Colombia they say Qué Hubo for a greeting, or Q'hubo for short.

Rodneyp gave you the mexican version which they say all of the time.

jphip,

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.

Yes, when I lived in Colombia Quiubo / Q'hubo was said frequently. Any where from Bogotá to Medellín- well all over. : ) Have a good one and great comments! - jphip, May 4, 2014

jphip, You lived in Colombia? I'm jealous! Where are you from originally? - rodneyp, May 4, 2014

You would love the country, and the people are great! There is a guy on here called "jctv". He is from Colombia and always has great posts. : ) - jphip, May 4, 2014

I lived in and out of Colombia for for 5 years and my wife is from Mexico.

You can say "que hay" also which is the present form.

It is like saying "what's up, what's happening"
