EN: bro, dude, mate
The go-to call sign for your male friends, barkada, or even the friendly kuya at the sari-sari store. It's the verbal equivalent of a friendly fist bump. 'Pre, anong balita?' is the official start of many 'tambay' sessions or inuman. It's the condensed, high-speed internet version of 'kumpare'.
Pagpapaikli ng salitang "pare", na pinaikli rin mula sa "kumpare" (mula sa Espanyol na "compadre").
ROOT MEANING: dude, bro, male friend
Highly informal and common among male friends, but now used more broadly. The female equivalent is 'mare' or 'mars'.
