Yeah, I just asked Billy Goat (native Spanish speaker) and he says it means "Whats wrong with you" in a nice way.
*sigh* Spanish *shakes head*

Just a wild guess for the heck of it, but is it Zacharia? Or am I even close?
Sorry to say, but not really. My lastname is only 5 letters. Good try though!

You see? I thought so too. Then it turns out to be different each time I ask someone, which is why spanish is strange

"Que" has like a million different meanings....
To my English/Spanish dictionary!
*doo doo doo doo doo doo doo!*
"Que pasa" means "What is the matter".
So I'd say "What is the matter with you?" fits pretty well.
Oh, while I'm here.
*looks up "contigo"*
Ha, I was right.
There are 2 versions of Que Pasa Contigo. One is in latin. The other keeps saying "whats the matter with me?"

It's an idiom for "what's up". And, if you think about it, what's wrong with you isn't too far from how's it going, which is a salutation which we use whether we mean it or not many times. I'm taking Spanish 1 this year.I always thought "Que pasa" meant "What's up?"

¿Qué pasa?=What's up?
Spanish is not strange. It's the other languages, above all, English

I'm German, and I can assure you it's certainly more difficult than English, maybe also more difficult than Spanish. In fact, each sentence said in a German forum will contain at least one typo or intentional letter variation (due to our long and complicated words).
About LightGoddess' last name, I can't think of a German word for 'small' beginning with Z, but perhaps it's a diminutive of a different thing altogether?
