"Cosa succede?"

Translation: What is happening?

[ShiraNegbi]

Can it be used as "What's up"?

[ualler]

What is happening?=Cosa sta succedendo?.....what happens?=cosa succede? is not the same. "cosa sta succedendo?" now, in this moment. "cosa succede?" not in this moment. example "cosa succede domani/stasera/dopo ...ect. ?

[xyphax]

That is good to know. So, if I understand correctly, the addition of the conjugation of the infinitive 'stare' can indicate an ongoing action?

[GuirguisW]

Qualcuno sistemarci la bomba!

[jannitara]

I wrote "What happens next?" - is it totally wrong or does it make sense giving the right context?

[J.Franchomme]

Is this sentence wrong ?

• "What does happen?"

[chatee]

What does it happen?. Can anybody explain to me why it is incorrect?.

[Sassicat]

There is no 'it' in the original sentence. Also 'what happens?' is what the sentence means in English.
