Tío
/Sounds like "TEE" (as in "tea") + "oh" (as in "oh")/
Meaning
An informal way to address literally anyone in Spain regardless of whether they're actually your uncle. It's just a social filler word so deeply ingrained that Spaniards can't go two sentences without saying it.
Examples
“Hey tío, what's up! How's it going?”
“That tío is nice, I like him.”
“Don't be rude, tío, it was just a joke.”
