I know that I'm twenty-sth and I don't expect the barman/cashier to call me 'sir', but still. A guy from the broadband company came to us the other day to fix the net - he was here for like 15 minuts and he was able to call me 'mate' like 20 times :???:
And, of course - 'cheers'... Can't they say 'thanks' or 'bye'... I can't get it.


And you mate :mrgreen: keep using "like" ;) hehe.
I don't have a problem with people calling me "mate" (although it doesn't happen as often as if I was a man - I suppose) I sometmes call sb "mate", and even my girl - friends. (Most of my girl - friends call each other "babe" and believe me - that is far worse! :twisted: )

I'm in my 2nd year at the uni but I don't speak "Queen English" ;) I suppose it's because of the way I was brought up (amongst "common people" :wink: )

Anyway, we all have expressions we like - and ones that we don't. We just have to learn to live with it. Or (as someone has already suggested) pack our bags and leave :neutral: )

Speak l8r - mates! :mrgreen:

mate word is o.k dont feel anything negative with this.But by the way i am really iritated with using so often "as well" word.

exp: May i have cigarettes , matches as well ... ?
isnt it better to say : hey box of fags and matches ?
saying as well people trying to be more kinf or what ...
And listen now that sentance is used mostly by motherf***ers from abroad...

I know what you mean. Some of my people do the same. They try to push their way and try to act like the English, try to speak like them...

I mean, I try not to speak English with a harsh foreign accent. But when someone just puts on an affected speech and they still have the accent... Or when someone act like they can't remember a word in their language after a few months in England. That's just disgusting. People like that make me nervous.

Even if you are in your twentys, your problem is, that you don't understand this 'mate' in a way british does. Cleaning staff at my uni, other students and even tutors don't give a fuck, I'am a mate for all of 'em... For them everybody's mate. If you have any english friends, especially female ones you can notice, that they call everybody a mate, even female friends... So basicly, mate is not a bloke only, but a girl as well.

and just maybe you all are just cit chatin about something that some pepole do their master degrees about and if u all would look more in to it you wold realise that it is all in the base of the language and just the way people speak to each other from years. the police oficer cums ad says mate can u get my college and stop throwing punches . mate can u get in the bloody squad car <<< do U realy think that he takes u as his mate ,,, no its being more or less polite like in polisz czy mogly pan wsiasc do loduweczki :D:D:D: peace to ypu ALL

I think some of you brought bad habits from abroad...

creo0 says

If someone would ask me the way you suggested i would think "what a wanker" and my answer is NO straight away (even if I have got them).

I like the way engilsh talk to people and don't mind If they are nice to you event if they don't like you ;) I just don't care

Why not?
For your information mate literally means 'kumpel' so what's wrong with that? All my English mates call me 'mate' and I have no problem with that. If you want to know mate also means a spouse (US English mostly), a partner (=a husband or a wife); so there you go... :-P
