What does 'sole' mean in Samoan?

Answer 1

Sole is referring to a male. So if you were to say "Sole!" you're kind of saying "Hey boy/guy!" If you were to say (in exasperation) "Oi sole!"... it would translate to mean "Oh man!!"

Answer 2

its a friendly word for boy as in "oh boy!"

Answer 3

Sole is a general calling name for any male; and Suga is for any female. It's especially good when you're in a situation where you don't know a person's name, and you just address them as Sole or Suga.

Answer 4

"Sole" is a general calling name for any male; whereas a girl will be "Suga". Eg - "Sole/Suga, what is your name?" It's like saying to anyone, "Hey, what's your name?", but by using "Sole/Suga", you are genderising. It is especially good when you don't know someone's name.
