Mate or Mate

[saxitoxin]

What countries use "mate" to mean "friend" and which use "mate" to mean "lover?"

I made this helpful chart:

Friend = UK, New Zealand, Australia
Lover = Canada, USA

Is it correct or not correct? What other words might cause swarthy young gentlemen like nietzsche and betiko to get into hijinx?

Sometimes Chinese people refer to the recipients of their affection as 'big brother' or 'little sister'.

I think some people in Canada and USA do that, too. Though they usually end up in prison.

Or they just get moved to a different church.

So every chance you get? Hot.

Always go with Mates over Mate. Less chance of the mate falling off, catching a cold or making other little mates.

LOL

I had to listen to it five times before I could figure out what they were saying but it was worth it.

You can add a third one. In french, it means to look (kind of in a dirty way). But we french never pronounce the final "e" unless it has an accent so it s pronounced "mat".

So you would encourage a friend to "mate" that sexy lady passing by in the street, and you would "mate" some porn.
