How to say “What's up” in Turkish

What “Ne var ne yok” really means

Ne var ne yok? literally means "What is there, what is not?" and works like "What's up?" or "What's new?". It is friendly and informal, and the usual answers are "İyilik, senden?" (All good, you?) or "Hiç, aynı" (Nothing, the same).

🇹🇷 Culture note

"N'aber?" (short for Ne haber?) is the even shorter teen version. Text messages often start with just "naber".
