Mate
How often do you say mate? Have you ever said it? Why/why not?
|
I say it a lot. I say it naturally and it sounds cool, mate. :D
|
It's... really not used here unless you're talking about animals mating. And that said, I really don't use it very often. XD;
It just sounds weird if it's not said with an accent. :( |
I know! We Australians are typically thought to say 'Mate' at the end of every sentence XD Its so silly! :D
|
Ugh, hardly ever. Literally never. :(
|
I can't say I've ever said it before. Ever.
|
I never say it because I live in a nicel ittle place called the U.S.A. where people are biased. :D Well I typed it once on Runescape for fun and giggles.
-Okami |
I use it online rather often...mostly mockingly when giving advice to newbies. But since I live in Texas and have an American accent, I never use it in spoken conversation. I do occasionally use the word "buddy" in place of where "mate" would go in the stereotypical Australian accent. XD
|
Yeah, mate ;D
I rarely say it. But it feels good :3 |
I use it for animals. Humans don't have mates; we have "partners" or "significant others."
If you mean Australian slang, I use it in the regard of "chum", too. |
I'm british so I say it to my mates.
Also say it llike mate if they've just said something that's just weird and wrong or yeah mate if they've just said/done something epic |
I actually have never used that word yet, because I'm no native English speaker, and on the internet I didn't have the need or occassion to use it yet.
|
I'm another person who uses it only when referring to animals. For any other use, I honestly don't remember when was the last time I said it.
Just not part of my regular vocabulary and I don't hang around anybody who uses it like that, is all. |
I never say it, I can't even remember if I ever have xD
|
The last time I used it was when I was getting Australian accent lessons from a friend, but being American it makes me think of nature programs before anything else.
|
I thought mate was British...
A few times, actually. D= I'm American, but I just say it a few times to annoy my friends. Seriously. xD |
i dont say it ever o_o unless i'm referring to animals
but i think it's cool/funny when people say it :D |

I never say "mate" unless I'm picking on some of my Aussie friends.
Otherwise I only say it when talking about animal procreation. :x |
I only say it as sarcasm toward my cousin. Other than that, I don't say it often.
|
I really don't use the word but I have friends here who do, so I guess I'm cool with it n_n'.
|
Well, it comes up in biology homework occasionally. :\/
Never really. Never had a reason to. |
I say it when I'm trying to sound smug and propah Bri'ish. I'm in the UK you see so it's common.
|
Never. Ever. Ever.
I've never heard it before, 'cept on TV. |
Well, it varies... since I like variety in my words. Primarily I use it when referring to animals, but I use so many other words and phrases in its place that I use it just as often for that as I do when referring to an acquaintance. Buddy, pal, dude, and "this guy" are used pretty often around here in its place, though.
