Respect
Argentines are very engaging people who may ask very personal questions within minutes after first meeting someone, and they would expect you to reciprocate. Failing to do so would indicate disinterest in the other person.
Don’t be offended if someone calls you a “boludo”/”boluda”. Even though it’s a swear word it also means “dude”/”buddy”/”mate”. Argentinian people are infamous for the amount of cursing they do, so if they are talking to you don’t pay attention to the cursing. If Argentinians are mad, teasing you or making fun of you, you will tell by the expression of their face or the tone of their voice as well as even more cursing than usual.
Don’t be offended if an Argentinian says things to you in a very direct manner: this is very usual among locals and sometimes offends foreigners. Argentinians are very emotional and passionate, both when telling good things or bad things to anyone.
