Exploring Chilean Slang for “Friend”

In Chile, “weon” (also spelled “huevón”) is an extremely common slang term that can mean “dude” or “friend”, though it can be offensive in certain contexts. “Compadre” or “comadre” (for women) is a friendly, respectful way to address someone. Young people might use “loco” or “loca” (for women) to refer to friends. “Choro” is another term for a cool friend or acquaintance.
