Informal way to ask what is happening.
सांस्कृतिक पृष्ठभूमि
Greetings often involve asking about one's well-being multiple times. 'Ke chha khabar?' is often just the first of many questions. Young people in the capital often shorten it to just 'Ke chha?' or use English-influenced slang like 'Ke chha bro?'. In villages, 'khabar' might actually refer to news from the city or about family members working abroad. On Facebook and Viber, 'k 6 khabar' is a common shorthand using the number 6 (which is pronounced 'chha' in Nepali).
The '6' Trick
In Nepali, the number 6 is 'chha'. You'll often see people write 'k 6' in texts!
Elder Alert
Never use this with your Nepali mother-in-law unless you want to seem very informal!

4 सवालIt's not 'rude', but it's very informal. It's better to start with 'Namaste'.
Usually, no. It's just a greeting. A simple 'Fine' is enough.
Only if the email is to a close friend. For business, use 'Namaste' or 'Dear...'.
'Ke chha' is just a shorter, even more casual version.
