-AR verbs: drop the infinitive -r and add accent: hablar → hablás, llegar → llegás, tomar → tomás.

Hey, mate, how are you doing!
"Che" is the quintessential Argentine address. Ernesto "Che" Guevara got his nickname from this habit.
— ¿Cómo andás? — Bien, ¿y vos?
— How are you? — Good, and you?
The voseo equivalent of "¿Cómo estás?" or "¿Cómo te va?". Very natural in Argentina/Uruguay.

From Italian "ciao". Standard informal farewell throughout Argentina, Uruguay, and much of Latin America.
Está re bueno ese libro. — Es re fácil.

"Re" as intensifier is very colloquial and distinctly Argentine/Uruguayan. Equivalent to "muy" or "súper".
