Local Greetings in Ecuadorian Spanish

Ecuadorian greetings vary by region. In Quito, “¿Qué más ve?” is a common greeting. “¿Cómo estás, pana?” is used among friends, with “pana” meaning buddy. In the coast, you might hear “¿Qué más, mi pez?” (What’s up, my fish?). “Chévere” is often used in response to greetings, meaning “cool” or “great”.
