Signification
Wishes someone enjoyment and fun in an activity or event.
Contexte culturel
In Spain, the use of 'os' for 'vosotros' is essential. If you are talking to a group of friends, you MUST say '¡Que os lo paséis bien!'. Mexicans almost exclusively use 'la' instead of 'lo' in this phrase. '¡Que la pases bien!' sounds much more natural there. In Argentina, you might hear '¡Que lo pases lindo!'. The word 'lindo' (nice/beautiful) is often used as an adverb meaning 'well' or 'pleasantly'. Social media 'post-wish': It is very common to comment this on someone's vacation photos, even if you haven't spoken to them in months.
The 'Lo' Secret
Don't try to change 'lo' to 'la' in Spain. It's a fixed part of the idiom.
Subjunctive Alert
Always use 'pases' (with an E), never 'pasas' (with an A) after 'Que'.
