go down / happen
Hi everyone,

1. What's going down? Something strange is going down around here.

2. Something strange is happening around here.

I wonder what's the difference between 'go down' and 'happen'

Thank you and have a nice day :)

Answer

It's interesting to note  that "to go down," meaning "to happen," is considered extremely informal, despite the fact it's been in use for generations, and equivalent expressions were used in Latin.

Thank you for your help :D

Hello, Jin Sun! This is a great question :). The only difference is, "what's going down?" is a type of slang, and is more informal use. "What is happening?" Is more formal. I would use "what's going down?" If I was speaking with my friends. I hope this helps!
