Colombians often use “parce” or “parcero” to refer to a friend, similar to “buddy” in English. “Pana” is another common term, especially in Medellín. In Bogotá, you might hear “llave” used to mean friend. “Compa” (short for “compadre”) is a friendly way to address someone, while “mi perro” (literally “my dog”) is used among close male friends.
