Yeah. And we may not say "mate," but "pal" just isn't commonly used at all.

[(Anonymous)]

I think the only person who ever called me their pal was my great grandmother.

[(Anonymous)]

Yeah, pal sounds a pretty juvenile or old-fashioned, and it's not really used in the same context that "mate" is used. Same with buddy. Like, kids say it, or middle-aged men say it when they're angry. "Listen here, buddy.." etc.

I'd say "dude" is the word that might be used with the same frequency as "mate" in everyday casual conversation (at least, it's used in certain regions, a little dated in other regions), but that doesn't really imply friendship.

Aussie here.

I would say "mate" to random strangers, but not to my friends. I suspect Britain might be similar.

[(Anonymous)]

In my experience Brits will commonly use "mate" to refer to their friends in the third person - "I was out on the lash with my mates last night" - but as a form of address it's mainly for random strangers - "Have you got a light, mate?"

[(Anonymous)]

I say "pal" when referring to people who aren't friends but are in regular positive contact with me.

Yeah I don't hear "mate" very often over here but I really don't hear "pal" at all, at least not unironically.
