Use a capital to start your sentence. Chile should be capitalized also. - rac1, Jun 9, 2014

Probably derived from the fact that monkeys are generally ill-tempered.
¿Qué pasa? ¿Estás andando con los monos?
What's up? Are you in a bad mood.
No me hablas así. Estás andando con los monos.
Don't talk to me like that. You are in a bad mood.

Also: ¿qué hay? or ¿qué tal? Right? - rac1, Jun 9, 2014
My wife always used ¿Qué tienes? but I think that might be Mexico only. - gringojrf, Jun 9, 2014
gringo, no es "estas andando con los monos" es Andas con los monos. Si, ando con los monos. no se porque usamos eso para preguntar o decir que estamos enojados. - chileno, Jun 9, 2014
