How do you say What is up dude in french?

There isn't a direct, literal translation of "What's up, dude?" into French that conveys the same casual, friendly tone. However, here are some options depending on the context and your relationship with the person:

Informal and Friendly:

* "Ça va?" (pronounced "sa va") - This is the most common and versatile way to say "How are you?"

* "Quoi de neuf?" (pronounced "kwoa de nœf") - This literally means "What's new?" and is a bit more informal than "Ça va?"

* "Comment ça va?" (pronounced "koh-moh sa va") - This means "How is it going?" and is a little more formal than "Ça va?"

* "Tu vas bien?" (pronounced "too va bee-ahn") - This means "Are you doing well?" and is another good option for a friend.

Adding "dude":

To add the "dude" element, you can:

* Use "mec" after the greeting, but this might sound a bit awkward.

* Use a slang term like "pote" or "copain," but these are generally used for friends, not just acquaintances.

* You could also use a phrase like "Alors, mon pote?" (So, my friend?) or "Quoi de neuf, mec?" (What's new, dude?)

Remember:

The best way to say "What's up, dude?" in French depends on your relationship with the person and the situation. It's generally best to start with a more formal greeting like "Ça va?" or "Comment ça va?" and adjust the level of formality based on your relationship with the person.
