I would like to know if addressing an american with the word 'buddy' would be considered offensive. If the answer is yes, would it be considered offensive by an american. If not, what is the equivalent for women?
Two men may use the word buddy, but can a man call a woman buddy? Buddy和friend的区别 一、读音不同 buddy 英 [ˈbʌdi] 美 [ˈbʌdi] friend 英 [frend] 美 [frend] 二、释义不同 buddy n. Hey man~ hey guy~ hey buddy~哪个好一点问候的时候,三者有什么区别man是黑人打招呼用的最多,白人一般不用;buddy在美国口语使用非常普遍,指那些内和你亲如兄.
