Different areas have different customs. I come from the Pueblo Pintado and Whitehorse Chapters and this is what I learned.
For Males (speaking to a male friend that is):
Close friend who is older than you - Shinaai (means my older brother, I's are high-tones)
Close friend who is younger - Shitsili (means my younger brother)
Casual greeting - Ashkii (means boy)
I don't know about women. There are different cultural rules on how the opposite sex interacts and calls one another. However if you want to be a romantic "John" to your lady friend, say "Oh shi Heart" (a Navajo joke lol)
I hope this was helpful.
