¿Qué te pasa?

🧠 What it means

This one’s a super common (and universal!) way to ask if someone’s upset, acting weird, or in a bad mood. 👉 What’s wrong with you? / What’s the matter? / What’s your problem? 💡Tone is literally of the essence here! Said gently, it’s “What’s wrong?”; said sharply, it’s “What’s your problem?” (eek!).

🌪️ When to whip it out

Whenever you want to ask why someone looks sad or is acting off:

¿Qué te pasa, wey? Te ves todo bajoneado.
What’s up with you, dude? You look all mopey.

But it can also be used more aggressively to call out annoying behavior:

Oye, ¿qué te pasa? No son tus cosas
Hey, what’s wrong with you? That’s not your stuff.

⚠️ Tone

✅ Neutral if said with concern.

✅ Can be confrontational if said with a sharper tone.
