Then "what's up" means "what's wrong?" or "what's the matter?"AN124 wrote:Louise,Comet wrote:Welcome to Luchtzak.
Why have you called your topic "Sup all"? It means "drink all" in English.
I think Aein means "What's up"
Best Regards,

Sorry, but that's how a native English speaker interprets that phrase. If you say that to an English speaker on meeting them it doesn't sound like a greeting. "All right" may sometimes be said as a greeting, but not "what's up" usually.

To clarify matters, here is a Yorkshire joke:
Yorkshire Motto
Hear all, see all, say nowt.
Eyt all, sup all, pay nowt.
An if ivver tha duz owt for anybody, allus do it for thi-sen!
(in English - Hear all, see all, say nothing. Eat all, drink all, pay nothing. And if ever you do anything for anybody, always do it for yourself.)
I found that joke on one of the gifts we sell in the museum where I work in summer. Tourists think it is funny.
