Exploring Honduran Slang for “Friend”

In Honduras, “maje” is a very common term used among friends, similar to “dude” in English. “Chavo” or “chava” (for females) is often used to refer to young friends. “Pura vida” (borrowed from Costa Rica) is sometimes used as a friendly greeting. “Catracho” or “catracha” (for females), while primarily meaning “Honduran”, can also be used affectionately among friends.
