German question!

[2Eliza2]

Would a German ever say 'Was ist's?' instead of 'Was ist los?' or perhaps 'Was ist es?'

This would be a roughly-spoken German.

THANKS to anyone who can help.

Berlin hier and "was ist?" you hear all the time. Never heard "was ist's?"

Mind you what you hear in reality round here sounds a bit more like "was is?" (the t isn't pronounced) or even - pure Berlinerisch "wat-is"?

Otherwise there's "was gibt's?" sounding like "wat jibt's?" (if it's a real Berliner accent you're after).

When I lived in NRW, I learnt the useful term: wassiss? That seems to cover a multitude of things...

Oh and I forgot to say : good luck with the book Eliza!

No German would say "Was ist es" or "was ist´s" . Never! Not even people who speak roughly,or any kind of German dialect.
Roughly spoken it would be "was is" or "was is`n"( short of was ist denn??)

That's great--thank you, Berlin! And to Nelly too.

You only say "was ist es" if for instance you´ve got a baby and people ask you ," was ist es,Junge oder Mädchen "

Chrissi1 - you've brought it all back to me! Not only is there the lovely "wassiss", but also "wassiss'n?" Oh, happy days...
