Exploring Argentine Slang for “Friend”

In Argentina, friends often use the term “che” as a casual way to address each other. “Boludo” is another common term, which can be affectionate among close friends but may be offensive in other contexts. “Pibe” or “piba” (for females) is a friendly way to refer to a young person or friend. In Buenos Aires, you might hear “chabón” used similarly to “dude” in English.
