Do spanish speakers often say: Que onda? 
I used" Que onda "with a few spanish speakers,but i found that most of them do not use it. I may hear of it from a teenager spanish speaker.lol
And what's the proper way to say What's up? in spanish?
Gracias!

Answer

"¿Que onda?" is an expression mainly used in Mexico, but also (at least) in Chile and Argentina. It has many other meanings appart from "what's up?". I'm from Spain, and here this expression is not used.
In Spain, we would say "¿Que tal? ¿Que hay?. And, in a teenager context: ¿Que pasa (tío/tía/colega)?

Answer

Only used in Mexico.
You can also say:   Cómo va todo?

Answer

Yo soy de México y esa expresión comúnmente la utilizamos para decir saludar a una persona que realmente te agrada o es grato verlo, es como si dijeras "Hola". Por ejemplo: Que Onda ¿Cómo estás? o ¿Cómo has estado? - "Hola, ¿Cómo estás? o ¿Cómo has estado?

También lo usamos para decir ¿Qué pasó? o ¿Qué pasa?

Answer

Hello,in Uruguay, young people use  " ¿Qué onda?", meaning  "What´s up ? "
We also use: "¿Qué pasa?"
