In Spain, 'Hay que ver' is a very common filler phrase used to express amazement, whether positive or negative. The phrase 'No hay bronca' is a very common way to say 'No problem' or 'No worries'. Argentines often use 'No hay drama' instead of 'No hay problema' to signify that everything is fine. In many regions, '¿Qué hay?' is a standard informal greeting, often shortened to '¿Qué hay?' or '¿Qué onda?'.
