Uruguayans, like Argentines, often use “che” to casually address friends. “Botija” is a common term for a young friend. “Gurí” or “gurisa” (for females) is another friendly term, especially for younger people. “Boludo” is used similarly to Argentina, affectionate among friends but potentially offensive in other contexts. “Pibe” or “piba” (for females) is also common, meaning “kid” or “buddy”.
