The Official Spanish Speaking Thread

Caballeros, hasta hoy me di cuenta que existía esta sección en el foro de Sneap. Mi nombre es Eduardo y soy de Costa Rica. Soy vocalista de:

Saludos

So I speak zero Spanish, but I've had a question for a while and this is the perfect place to ask.

In the Spanish language, does the equivalent translation of "my friend" get used a lot? I only ask because I notice that, when speaking English, a lot of people I come across in life that are Hispanic, Latin, etc... say it a lot, even when you're not friends with them. Is it a cultural thing, or a translational thing? Do you guys say "yo hombre" a lot? I'm probably over-thinking things but I've been curious for a while.
 
Why would my Argentinian friend from work tell me this? "Come mierda burro grande. El reloj de su abuelo huele a plástico quemado y orina."
What is wrong with people?!

At least here in Spain, we don't say my friend that much, we use what would be translated as "dude".

I don't know in south america, here in Spain saying "my friend" a lot is usually associated with cuban people haha

Yeah Jordi´s right, it´s kind of a South American thing, some people use it, "amigo mío" which literally means My friend, but some people use things like "hermano" which means brother (like when californian people say bro a lot), or in Spain "tío" which literally means uncle but in Spain it´s used as an equivalent to dude. it´s commonly used in many places, even when they´re not your friend. It´s like saying "man" or "dude" in American, or "mate" in british.
 
Here in Argentina the lowlifes often use the world "amigo/a" (male or female) to refer to... well, basically anyone. I find it extremely annoying. You are not my friend, you st*pid c*nt :lol:

Doesn't sound like something an Argentinian would say, even a stupid one. It's quite likely he got a virus or something like that.
 
Jeff, people use it here in Mexico, but is more like a friendly way to talk to someone, people here say it in english "My friend". Like Dan said, is like using the "Man" or "Dude"
