Che is a Spanish interjection used commonly in Argentina, Uruguay, Paraguay, some parts of Brazil, Bolivia, and also in Valencia, Spain (equivalent to the Valencian xè or che, or Ebro-delta Catalan xa: the Valencia CF soccer team is known as "Los Che" or "the Che team".). It is an exclamation, often used to get attention or express surprise, and so it corresponds in some ways to exclamations such as "hey!", "eh!" and "wow!". It is also used in a vocative sense as though it meant "friend", and thus corresponds in some ways to expressions such as "mate", "pal", "man", or "dude" that can be found in the speech of various English speakers.
