Panamanian greetings are friendly and informal. “¿Qué sopa?” (literally, “What soup?”) is a popular way to say “What’s up?”. “¿Cómo estás, mopri?” is used among friends, with “mopri” being slang for friend. “Xopa” is another informal greeting. When saying goodbye, “Chao pescao” (Bye, fish) is a playful farewell.
