Do Spanish people use the word "tio" with the meaning of "my friend"..?
- Spanish (Spain)
Obviously wrong
Explanation is not enough
Written in a language I can't understand
Answer is not related to the question
Other reason
- Greek
- Spanish (Spain)
* Tío/a
It's not really "my friend", but "dude/mate/guy". For example:
- Tío, ¿qué haces?
- Aquel tío de allí se ha saltado el semáforo
- Tías, ¿vamos al cine esta tarde?
- Qué asco de tío, no lo soporto

Yes. Tio in spanish means dude, bro, or other slang words with the same meaning.

@-Alexia25- I'll add to her comment that also depends on the region. When tío is the most popular, in some cities there are other terms like illo, picha, co, acho... that are used the same way 😃
