"Kio okazas?"

Translation: What is happening?

[RaizinM]

Mi diris "heeej-eeej-eej-ej-ej, heeej-eeej-ej" ♫
diris "hej, kio okazas?" ♪

Or if you don't like silly internet stuff, here is the normal version of the song.

[JAShenfield]

Kaj mi provas. Ho mia dio mi provas. Mi provas tuta tempo en ĉi tiu institucio.

[ScottBoggs3]

Im really disappointed that isnt a link to a video of that.

[salivanto]

Be careful what you wish for. Here's a video about "kio okazas" - featuring a young Chuck Smith and some other important people.

[ChuckWalter]

Oh my...

[Aramande]

Ne multe. Kaj vi?

[mizinamo]

Kaj al vi / kaj ĉe vi?

[_Travis_]

Just to make sure: Can "Kio okazas" be used as a greeting?

[salivanto]

"Kio okazas" is definitively NOT suitable as a greeting. Nobody uses it that way.

[FredCapp]

Kiu estas domaĝe, sed komprenebla.

[salivanto]

We can always pretend ... for a laugh.

[Juha_Metsakallas]

La interreto ekzistas precize por tiaj filmetoj :-D

[Aramande]

I want to say yes. But it's probably something best reserved to friends. It would be short for "Saluton! Kio okazas?" which I think makes perfect sense.

[_Travis_]

Cool, that's what I was thinking, something informal and quick for friends.

Via finfina gvido por "Kio Okazas?!"

[Baloug]

Essentially, the message is: "Ne krokodilu!"

[salivanto]

Funny. I just watched that same video before posting here. It's great, as long as people know it's a joke - not learning material. :-)

[FredCapp]

Kio okazas = Que pasa.

Ĉu jes? :D

[kathryn.ne]

Io tre stranga. La mano de la junulo proksmigxis al la taso de Gerda

[Halfdano]

frato

[FredCapp]

Ĉu "Fraĉjo"?

[vanof]

[brunacat13]

That's me all the time

[Pedro_Santiago_]

Why is it kio and not kion? I think it's kion because it should be in accusative

[mizinamo]

Why do you think it should be in the accusative?

It's the subject of the sentence.

Remember that you can usually ask after the subject with "who or what [verb]s?" -- and here you are literally asking "What is happening?", i.e. using "what?" to ask after the subject.

The subject of a sentence is in the nominative case, without an ending.
