informal word for a person
An informal word for a person, usually a man, often a friend or someone like you in age or style.
استعمال کا انداز:
[a/an] dude
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "dude" in formal emails, work messages, or when speaking to someone much older or in a high position. In those situations, "man" or "person" is safer, or just use the person’s name or title. Also, some learners think "dude" can only be male; in modern speech it is often used for people of any gender, but some listeners may still feel it sounds male-focused.

guy (Very close in meaning; slightly more common and a bit less slangy than "dude.")

استعمال کا انداز:
Dude, [clause]
عام غلطی:
Learners sometimes use "dude" with teachers, bosses, or strangers, which can sound rude or too familiar. It is safest with close friends or people of a similar age who also use slang. Also, avoid repeating it too much in one sentence, which can sound unnatural.
