    How often do you say mate? Have you ever said it? Why/why not?

    • 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 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.

    • 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

    • 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.

    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'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.

    • 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 never say "mate" unless I'm picking on some of my Aussie friends.

    Otherwise I only say it when talking about animal procreation. :x
