G'day mate
G'day Wifey, how's it goin?
Many Aussie men (and some women) love to use phrases like "mate," "G'day mate!" and "How's it goin, mate?"
It's part of their Australian identity!
We also use it when we can't remember someone's name, or we haven't been introduced yet.
It is a nice way to ease into a conversation, but it can sound a bit rough if you use these phrases too much - even for guys.
But if someone says to you "G'day mate!" you can reply with the same "G'day mate!"

Typical conversation in an Aussie pub **

Mick: G'day mate! How's it goin? (probably can't remember your name)
Wifey: G'day Mick! Yeah, I'm good, how r u?
Mick: Alright mate! Hot enough for ya?
Wifey: Yeah, it's pretty hot isn't it!?
Mick: You right for a beer?
Wifey: Yeah, could you get us a Coopers?
Mick: No worries mate!

G'day is a tricky one for the Japanese tongue. It starts off as half way between ゲ and ギ and is quickly followed by day (デー). Let's settle for ゲデー メーt.
Lots of Love
