WotD #12 - Hva' så?!

This is essentially the Danish equivalent of ¿qué tal? or, for the gringos, what's up? Or, for the late nineties, early aughts Budweiser commercial watching gringos, wazzup?.


If I remember correctly, my very first Spanish textbook as a freshman in high school was titled, rather fantastically, ¿qué tal?.

I can't describe the ways that I would love to see an English textbook, in any language, titled What's up?. Or perhaps the Joey Tribbiani inflected How you doin'? Obviously inflected with the appropriate inflection, er, accent.
