Add a word/Sounds like "SOH" (as in "solo") + "syoh"/
Meaning
Friend, partner, someone you team up with for whatever is going on, from a business venture to just hanging out and goofing off. In Mexico it's used very casually to refer to anyone you have a good vibe with, the way English speakers might say 'partner in crime' or 'my guy.' No formal commitment implied.
Examples
“What's up, partner? Ready for the game?”
“That guy always has the best plans.”
