In "Argentinean Spanish" you may say "Che, gracias amigo" which is 
something like "You, thank you friend" (yep, two 'you', one plural and 
other singular) Here "che" is a mapuchean word (Mapuche, one of the 
original inhabitants of my country, Argentina) that means "people". 
Socialist revolutionary Ernesto Che Guevara (Cuba revolutions, with 
Fidel and lots of cigars, you know) was named "Che" because of the 
frequent use of this word we, and thus he, do. FYI, mapuche means "earth 
people" and inhabited the Neuquen province and Patagonia, which I 
recommend you to visit ;) (Bariloche or San Martin de los Andes may ring 
a bell)
Cheers
