Che (interjection)

Common card · No. 425847

Che ( CHAY, Spanish: [tʃe]; Portuguese: tchê [tʃe]; Valencian: xe [tʃe]) is an interjection commonly used in Argentina, Uruguay, Bolivia, Paraguay, Brazil (São Paulo and Rio Grande do Sul) and Spain (Valencia), signifying "hey!", "fellow", "guy". Che is mainly used as a noun of address to call someone's attention (akin to "mate!" or "buddy!" in English), but it is often used as filler too (akin to "right" or "so" in English). The Argentine revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara earned his nickname from his frequent use of the expression, which amused his Cuban comrades.
