¿Qué traes?
(useful questions)
B1 (¡Ya le agarras la onda!)Used EVERYWHERE 🇲🇽Colloquial 🗯️
🧠 What it means
So this one literally translates to: What are you carrying?
BUT in Mexican Spanish, it’s also used figuratively to ask about someone’s attitude, mood, or behavior:
👉 What’s your deal? / What’s going on with you? / What do you have there?
💡Tone is king here… it can be curious, concerned, or confrontational.
🌪️ When to whip it out
When asking what’s wrong with someone (concerned or curious):
Te noto raro… ¿qué traes?
You seem off… what’s going on with you?
When asking why someone’s acting a certain way (often confrontational):
Oye, ¿qué traes conmigo?
Hey, are you mad at me or what?
When asking what someone’s physically carrying (literal meaning):
¿Qué traes en la bolsa?
What’s in the bag?
⚠️ Tone
✅ Very common in informal Mexican Spanish.
✅ Can sound friendly or aggressive depending on delivery.

Yo sé puedo usar Desplazar o Navegar Por para decir "scroll." Pero, no sé porque pienso una manera coloquial es decir " pasar por " ( como psar por los iconos el cel ). ¿Me estoy equivocando? Gracias de antemano por su ayuda.
@Armando No...Es más común decir "bajar" o "subir", pero si te soy sincera, usamos el clásico Spanglish (o anglicismo) y casi todo mundo dice "scrollear".
