What is the origin of the word "mate," and why do British people have a tendency to call each other that?
I see. But why specifically do British people use this term so frequently?
It's not just British people who use the term "mate," but it is more common in British English compared to other English dialects. This could be due to the history of the British Empire and its influence on different cultures and languages, including English.
