It´s very normal to say the word "friend", "compa" "brother", "wey" to someone very close and to go out to talk is I am going to meet with a friend, chat, etc.
In Mexico It´s normal to use the word "ok" to say that something is right or that we agree with what is said. Sometimes It´s common to point to people when we refer to someone, to indicate that it is that person. Sometimes we also point the index finger at the rainbow. They say we should not do this because some warts appear on the fingers. In Mexico it´s common to eat banana for dessert, in some diets, but not in bolillo Tipping It´s common, but you should leave a tip of ten percent or more of the total amount on the restaurant bill, dealer.
In Colombia It´s common to patch and be a partner of all. It should not surprise us when they tell us so because it is not an offense: It means that you are a friend and patching means meeting. We should be careful if we use the word Ok because It´s offensive to them, if we use it then it means "homosexual" "gay" It should not be pointed with the index finger if not with the whole hand, it´s common to do it with the palm of the open hand
It´s normal to eat banana in a cake, accompanied by an omelette or with something salty It´s common to leave tips on the account in many restaurants, delivery men, etc., leaving the amount considered to the service provided. There are no stipulated tips
