Hi Zainub – ‘love’ is used instead of the word ‘mate’ or ‘friend’

Instead of ‘G’day’ you can say ‘hello’ or ‘hi’

‘G’day mate’ = ‘Hi friend’

I’m gad it is helpful Robert!
Yes this is only used in Australia. This lesson is really to have a bit of fun with language and also to learn a friendly greeting to use in Australia!

But Old people it’s a polite or friendly word; I under stand this way;
